Twenty miles of coastline beckon, with spots for wild swimming and even an island or two to navigate. You can learn to sail on Ullswater, the more experienced can hire a traditional Lune Whammel (Swallows and Amazons style), or if you prefer a skipper so you can watch the world go by you can schedule your own yacht charter. Sailing is best from May/June to late October
