Ullswater Steamers
The Lake District's Heritage Fleet
Ullswater Steamers runs 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
Ullswater Steamers connect Glenridding and Pooley Bridge with stops along the way, combining perfectly with walks along the Ullswater Way. The fleet includes Lady Of The Lake, the UK's oldest working passenger vessel, which has been operating on Ullswater for over 150 years.
On the Water
The heritage fleet adds real character to the experience. The boats have a rich history and are 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, making the cruises a paradise for photographers and artists.
Getting There & Essential Info
Ullswater Steamers depart from Glenridding and Pooley Bridge. Cruises run year-round with seasonal timetables. Tickets are available online or at the pier houses. Dogs are allowed, and private charters are available.
