Local Attractions & Activities…

There is an array of things to do in the Ullswater Valley, just some of which have been mentioned below. Don’t forget that opening times vary according to season and some attractions close in the winter months.

A Mediaeval, Tudor & early Georgian house steeped in history with lovely gardens to enjoy and a tearoom serving traditional home made food!

Red squirrels thrive in the woodland through which a short Victorian walk leads you to one of the most famous natural features in the area… well worth a visit! Free parking for National Trust members, otherwise Pay & Display.

Visit this award winning visitor centre and you’ll see ostrich chicks hatching, emu, wallabies, rhea and, if you’re really lucky, cows and sheep too! You can also see Tilly and her amazing Zebra-foal, a species unique to Eden Ostrich World.
