Ullswater Way & Challenge

Choose your flavour: ‘UW20’ – Ullswater Way – the low level, 20 mile route around the lake, or the original, ‘UC24’ – Ullswater Challenge – including the higher level paths over, Gowbarrow fell, Glencoyne traverse and The Cockpit totally a hilly 24 miles.

The twenty mile Ullswater Way opened Easter 2016 and the inaugural event was in October that year. Five years on there are now two versions; Ullswater Way is 20 miles, whilst the Challenge route is 24 miles. Ullswater Challenge takes a high level fell path around the head of Glencoyne from Glenridding to Gowbarrow, so gives glorious views …in good weather!
