The lake is the second largest in England at 7 ½ miles long, but is less than a mile wide.  It’s also been called one of the most beautiful lakes in England.

On our SUP Tours, we explore all of the interesting geological and historical features that Ullswater has to offer, visiting the small villages dotted on the lake, the islands, beautiful secluded bays, headland and cliffs of Ullswater’s inaccessible eastern shoreline. 

With the added bonus of a chance of spotting some of England’s rarest wildlife
