GLENRIDDING, ULLSWATER SELF CATERING COTTAGE HOLIDAYS

Glenridding self catering cottages are ever-popular, given their beautiful, breathtaking location at the southern end of Ullswater, surrounded by mountains. Those who book Glenridding holiday cottages are spoilt for choice for activities, particularly fell-walking - with paths from the village up to Helvellyn, England's third highest peak. Glenridding is also home to the Ullswater Steamers, traditional craft that cruise the lake taking wide-eyed passengers on a relaxing journey that takes in some of the most stunning landscape in the United Kingdom. It is not difficult to see why Glenridding self catering cottages are among our most popular, given the wealth of natural beauty all around them.

Visitors to a Glendridding holiday cottage are really spoiled for choice in their immediate area, with lovely low-level walks around the shore, short ascents that give fine views over the 7.5 mile long Ullswater and long walks all around the beautiful fells the Lake District is famous for. About a mile north of our Glenridding self catering cottages are, at the right time of year, the daffodils that inspired Wordsworth, at Glencoyne Bay. And not much further afield is the famous Aira Force waterfall, a spectacular 60 foot cascade with viewing areas at the top and bottom.

If our Glenridding holiday cottages are fully booked, you may also want to consider Patterdale self catering holidays. The village of Patterdale is very close by and is equally popular with walkers to the Helvellyn range of mountains. Other options include Watermillock self catering cottages where we have one our wider selection of Lake District holiday properties, a village with a brilliant location on the shores of the lake, underneath the slopes of Little Mell Fell. The landscape around Ullswater is amongst the most beautiful in Lakeland, which is really saying something!
