Venture 3 miles to the village of Pooley Bridge, here you find riverside coffee shops, pubs, a restaurant, independent stores, a bookshop and an off license, a post office and tourist information centre. From here you can take in the magnificent scenery from the water when onboard one of Ullswater steamers to Howtown or Glenridding. Just 12 miles away lies RSPB Haweswater, where you might spot red squirrels, ring ouzels, and mountain ringlet butterflies. For a more leisurely day indulge in a spa day at the local hotel less than a mile away.
