Glenridding

Ullswater defines the setting of Glenridding — the lake meets the village beneath the eastern fells of the Lake District, shaping daily life around water, footpaths and mountain routes. Glenridding Beck runs down from the high ground to the lake, while Helvellyn and the celebrated Striding Edge ridge rise close by. The settlement grew with lead mining at Greenside Mine, which operated for more than a century before closing in 1961. Today, Ullswater Steamers link Glenridding with lakeside stops including Howtown and Pooley Bridge. Discover nearby webcam locations for complementary perspectives on Glenridding and Ullswater.
