Hiking
The Ullswater Steamers sail between Glenridding in the south and Pooley Bridge in the north, stopping at Howtown pier on the eastern shore. You can get a single or return from here to Howtown or Pooly Bridge and then walk back along the quiet eastern shore. Both walks are great but the section from Howtown back to Glenridding is particularly good.
The ferry runs all year but it's more regular in the summer. There is also a summer service from here to Aira Force on the western shore where there is a great loop around Gowboarrow.
