About trip

Glenridding Ultimate Weekend - Day 3 Glenridding: the most likely name for a Lake District whisky, and an ideal base from which to embark on an epic weekend of adventure. Nestled at the southern tip of Ullswater, this former mining village is now a haven for walkers, offering a glorious location for exploring the Eastern Fells. Not only can you launch a nerve-jangling attempt on one of Britain's most infamous ridges - Striding Edge - or tackle a round of some gloriously underrated local high fells, but it's also home to the Ullswater steamer. This will take you to Howtown and back, opening up a whole new area of fantastic walking territory and giving you an excuse to take to the water during your stay. With some cracking pubs to enjoy at the end of each day, and oodles of stunning scenery to boot, it's a true Lakeland experience without the hustle and bustle of some of its noisier neighbours. Small and perfectly formed, it's the Lake District, distilled. From Trail magazine - to subscribe visit www.GreatMagazines.co.uk/Trail © Copyright Bauer Media Limited 2014. All rights reserved.
