Walks in the Lake District
Lake views, sweeping landscapes and covered forest walkways. Walking in the Lake District is the proper stuff. Fresh air, birdsong, the works.
Walking in Ullswater
Ullswater is the lesser known sibling of Windermere. With the scale of the place, and fewer people, you’ll have the trails to yourself.
Wander miles of lakeside landscape, starting with the Ullswater Way.
Before you go: Check The Lake District National Park Authority’s guides on what to bring and best sources for weather reports.
THE BEST LAKE DISTRICT WALKS:
Follow your RSPB guide through one of the most secluded valleys in The Lake District. Keep your eyes peeled for red squirrels, red deer, otters and different species of birds.
Seasoned explorer Athena Mellor from Ramble Guides created a 7 mile hiking guide for one of the many walks on our doorstep at the hotel.
The Lake District has plenty of fells to tackle, but sometimes, big isn’t always the most beautiful. Hallin Fell is a case in point: at just 388m, it’s one of the smallest hills in the national park, and yet (in my opinion) offers the very grandest of views.
Gowbarrow is a fell that many people never take the time to climb, and that’s a shame – it’s not too tough, it has super views over Ullswater, and it can be combined with a visit to one of the Lake District’s most scenic (and best-known) waterfalls – Aira Force.
The Ullswater Way is a new 20-mile long walking route circumnavigating the lake. Explore Ullswater using existing public rights of way and quiet roads.
Arthur’s Pike is the highest point visible from Another Place. The walk, two hours in total, takes you to a point with clear views across Ullswater and the surrounding area.

A guide to rambles through Eden; Ullswater and it’s surrounds. 20-minutes drive through Eden Valley, limestone and slate give way to the red hue of sandstone and fells rise to heady heights.
Walking from the hotel
Walks are part of life at Another Place.
Nip out, skim a stone, or ramble for the whole day. When you get back here, feet up, there’s everything you need.
