Glenridding is a beautiful ex-mining village in the Lake District. Found on the edge of Ullswater and surrounded by rolling hills, it is nestled deep within this much-loved National Park. A cottage holiday here is well suited to walking, cycling and generally soaking up the fresh air.
If you want to get out on the water, there are several types of boat you can rent from Glenridding and a steamer which offers cruises. Walking around the lake also offers gentle walking opportunities, as although the fells are stunning they can be hard work. If you're feeling energetic the climbs are worth it; on the other side of Ullswater, Place Fell will offer wonderful views over the lake and village. Seek out some of the old mining buildings to get a feel for this village's past. Whether you're an adventurous soul or you'd simply rather soak up the views, Glenridding is a beautiful place to stay
