Pubs
A hearty pub meal can really warm the cockles of the soul; particularly if you’ve been out climbing up a mountain or jumping into a stream all day. The pubs around Ullswater offer a warm welcome to locals and visitors alike and you won’t look out of place in your wellington boots, sat by a roaring fire with your dog, or chilling out in the beer garden eating an ice cream in the sun.
For a true glimpse of Cumbrian spirit (and the finest real ale) a trip to the local pub will tick all the boxes.
