Patterdale is a small village close to lake Ullswater and is popular with walkers who go to climb famous peaks such as Helvellyn (England’s third highest mountain).

Local folklore suggests that Patterdale is named after St.Patrick (381-461 AD), who walked there after being shipwrecked on Duddon Sands.  It is said that he preached at a holy well and gave his name to the valley of “Patrichesdale”.

Ullswater is the second largest lake in the Lake District and may have been named after the Viking lord Ulfr.

Donald Campbell achieved his first world water speed record on Ullswater on 23rd July 1955, when the jet-propelled Bluebird K7 reached a speed of 202.32 mph.

Before setting off on any of these walks please plot the route on an appropriate map: OS Landranger 90,

Since the early days of the first Victorian tourists, the walk around Buttermere has become a bit of a classic.

The footpaths hug the lake shore closely and although there are a few ups and downs, they are fairly tame.

There are lots of opportunities to explore including becks, trees, gravel beaches and even a short exciting section of tunnel.

Green Route (Short)

A 7km, 2-3 hour route along lakeside paths and bridleway from the centre of Buttermere village, towards Honister Pass.  Cross Peggy’s Bridge and join the  Burtness Wood bridleway.  The walk return to Buttermere village

Blue Route (Long)

A longer route 12km, 4-5 hours, follows a start similar to the green route and then proceeds along Crummoch Water.  From Scales Beck, the road climb more steeply to the foot of Scales Force.

Return back along Crummock Water and into Buttermere village.

Before setting off on any of these walks please plot the route on an appropriate map: OS Landranger 89, OS Explorer OL 4,
