Glenridding is a charming village nestled at the southern tip of Ullswater, the second-largest lake in the Lake District National Park. Surrounded by majestic mountains and with the lake sparkling at its doorstep, Glenridding is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and anyone seeking a picturesque escape. The village is steeped in history, most noted for lead mining, with remnants of its industrial heritage still visible today.

Keen walkers can embark on challenging treks like the iconic Striding Edge route, while leisurely strolls along the lakeshore are perfect for those seeking a more relaxed pace. Eating Out: The nearest pub is the Travellers Rest, which offers food and a good selection of drinks, just a 5-minute walk from the house. There are also two hotels in the village: The Inn on the Lake Hotel, which offers a Ramblers Bar (Dog-friendly); The Orangery and The Lake View Restaurant, all of which are open to non-residents; and the recently refurbished Ullswater Inn, which offers a family-friendly bar/restaurant. Fairlight Cafe provides wonderful all-day breakfasts.
