Ullswater
Cumbria
The Lake District has an excess of options, but we're highlighting exquisite Ullswater, England's second-largest lake. It's a superb touring destination with beautiful mountain scenery and breathtaking walks all around.
Boat cruises are available from Ullswater Steamers (ullswater-steamers.co.uk); each pier connects with the 20-mile Ullswater Way walking route around the lake.
Enjoy sailing and windsurfing at the Glenridding Sailing Centre (glenridding sailingcentre.co.uk), and a short distance from the north shore is Aira Force waterfall.
