Glenridding and Ullswater
Bustling Glenridding on the southern edge of Ullswater is an idyllic village gateway on to Lakeland’s favourite peak Helvellyn, England’s third highest mountain with the famous scramble, Striding Edge usually the adventurous and sometime precarious ascent of choice! You’re unlikely to miss the route up to Helvellyn as the village has a signpost to it at every turn and has a lively ‘walker friendly’ atmosphere particularly over the summer season. Once at the summit it’s with a great sense of achievement that you can rest and admire the views before starting your descent back to town via Swirral Edge.
