Glenridding Cottages
This small Cumbrian village sits at the southern end of
Ullswater and offers a variety of Glenridding holiday cottages.
Walkers flock here, keen to complete the classic Helvellyn
challenge along Striding Edge - England's third highest
mountain, the views from the top (950m) are amazing. Less
demanding, though no less rewarding, is to follow the lakeside path
along Ullswater's shoreline. Or why not combine a walk with a
cruise on an elegant Ullswater Steamer? Either board at Glenridding
and then walk back from Howtown, or don boots first and sail back
in style. Of course walking is optional and you may prefer to
simply travel on water, or perhaps join an evening buffet cruise or
one of the Santa or spooky specials. And if you fancy getting stuck
in, book a lesson at the local sailing school.
Attractions near your Glenridding cottage
To the north of your Glenridding holiday rental is Glencoyne
Bay, famous as the spot where Wordsworth found daffodils and penned
one of his finest poems. Also close by is the village of Patterdale
and St. Patrick's Church, well worth a peek inside and
featuring intricate tapestries. Much of the local area is owned by
the National Trust - Aira Force is just one example, where
you'll see a magnificent waterfall plunge down a steep ravine.
Or take a look inside Dalemain, a splendid Georgian residence and
private home, open throughout the season and featuring a number of
festivals and shows.
Or book your Glenridding cottage holiday over Easter and 'go
quackers' at the annual Duck Race, a charity event held by the
local mountain rescue team. Please find below self catering holiday
