Sunrise over Ullswater in late October
Sunrise over Ullswater in late October
We thoroughly enjoyed a day on Ullswater despite the eclectic weather conditions. We motored from Pooley Bridge to Gelnridding and then to Airus Force to see the waterfall (about a 1.5 mile round trip hike) and then back to Pooley Bridge. The glorious dramatic scenery surrounds you on all sides with mountains appearing to grow out of the lake. www.sharonmanning.com.au
