Ullswater Steamers
Heritage Cruises on Ullswater
Heritage cruises on Ullswater, widely considered the most beautiful of the English lakes. The fleet of historic vessels offers cruises ranging from 20 minutes to two hours, with views of Helvellyn and the dramatic surrounding landscape.
What to Expect
The steamers connect Glenridding and Pooley Bridge with stops along the way, and they combine perfectly with walks along the Ullswater Way. The boats themselves are handsome heritage vessels, and the scenery is consistently spectacular.
On the Water
The heritage fleet adds real character to the experience, these are boats with history, not modern pleasure cruisers. Routes cover the full length of Ullswater, with stops that connect to walking routes along the shore. The views of Helvellyn and Place Fell from the water are outstanding.
Getting There & Essential Info
Ullswater Steamers depart from Glenridding and Pooley Bridge. Year-round with seasonal timetable. Tickets online or at the pier.
