The Local Area - Glenridding and Ullswater Things to Do
Helvellyn cottages are located above Glenridding, which lies at the southern end of Ullswater in the Lake District.
Glenridding combines the charm of a small lakeland village with the amenities needed to support you during your stay, including a tourist information centre, two convenience stores and a newsagent, 3 pubs, 2 hotels, a garage and an outdoor equipment shop.
The nearest pub to the cottages, the Travellers Rest Inn, is about 500 yards down the hill.
Glenridding caters for all levels of Lakeland enthusiasts, and Helvellyn Cottages are ideally located to make the most of your stay. For the casual walker the famous Ullswater steamers sail to Howtown and Pooley Bridge allowing a gentle walk around the shoreline. For the more adventurous Helvellyn, Place Fell, Sheffield Pike and St Sunday Crag are all close by. In fact apart from the Helvellyn youth hostel our cottage and those around it are pretty much the nearest place to the top of Helvellyn you could possibly stay in - except a tent!
Down the road lies the pretty village of Patterdale which has a good pub, village store and post office and a church. Glenridding is also within 20 minutes drive of Windermere, Keswick, Ambleside and Penrith.
