Luxury self catering on a private & secure lake fronting estate on Ullswater, The Lake District 🇬🇧🥂Sister destination to @hideawayoxford
Ullswater, The Lake District
Joined June 2011
The #ullswater #hopperbus service for 2025 starts TODAY! Currently, it is weekends only but will be a 7 day service in the summer, making a lot of difference to the number of cars in the valley. #ullswaterhopperbus #ullswaterway

Very dry underfoot which makes for easy going but please be aware of the fire risk. #Wildfires have already occurred in the #lakedistrict this year 🔥 📸 Brownrigg Well still flowing on the flanks of #Helvellyn Zac

Blencathra or Saddleback? I prefer Blencathra, it derives from Cumbric, old Welsh, a Celtic language. ‘Blain-Cadeir’ meant ‘summit seat’. The N Lakes is a melting pot of dialects and has been part of the kingdoms of both Strathclyde + Rheged in its past. @ https://t.co/KE48S27D55

There's not a huge amount of snow left apart from on the highest #lakedistrict summits but its forecast to freeze overnight so #crampons & #iceaxe will be required for anyone venturing onto the snow on Wed #summitsafely #beadventuresmart Zac

When snow and wind combine! Rime and snow flutings on the #Helvellyn summit shelter. Challenging navigation in whiteout conditions to find this sanctuary. Goggles, crampons, an ice axe, 4 pairs of gloves, map & compass & coffee were all essential for a safe adventure today. Zac

Morning everyone I hope you are well. The beautiful Church in Chapel Stile (Holy Trinity) with Thrang Crag as the backdrop. Apparently in old Norse (a lot of Lake names derive from the Viking settlements), Thrang meant narrow. Have a great day. #lakedistrict

With fresh snow on the tops expect a shift back to winter conditions over the next few days, with caution needed ⚠️ Check out forecasts & conditions beforehand ‼️

Really disappointed to see thousands of balloons being released in Liverpool in the memory of Welsh drag queen "The Vivienne" These balloons go on to entangle and choke wildlife it's something I often see firsthand.
