Ullswater Steamers  Ullswater Steamers have enjoyed over 150 years of sailing on one of England's most beautiful lakes. Referred to as the 'Dark Lake' in Arthurian legend, you can set sail on Ullswater on a voyage of discovery. For centuries this landscape has influenced famous poets and writers such as William Wordsworth. It is a valley with a rich biodiversity of wildlife whose ancient woodlands and fells provide breeding habitats for some of our rare species such as red deer, red squirrels and goosanders. The steamers create the perfect opportunity to combine a cruise with some of the most famous and spectacular countryside in the Lake District.
