Ullswater Lake

Reviewed By Ollieking82 - Cambridge, United Kingdom

Ullswater is one of the finest parts of this world. Fact. We also boarded the steamboat from Pooley Bridge to Glenridding. The social distancing on the boat was well organised. We spent a couple of hours by the lakeside in Glenridding, eating and just taking in the stunning scenery. Granted we were blessed with a beautiful day. But what ever the weather, you can't be anything but inspired by this place. Oh I will be back.

Derwentwater

Reviewed By carljones1 - Preston, United Kingdom

One of my favourite lakes Just walk down a short way to friars crag for one of the best views The sight is like a panoramic view with mountains lake shapes and valleys see the island opposite and fills the senses with peace and beauty. Perfect when no one else is around though it is very popular. For even better treat visit in spring may time when sun is going down and the bottom of the lake is lit up with shades and colours reflecting in the water one of the most memorable sights you can see. Just pergect

The Quarry

Reviewed By Steve_of_N21 - London, United Kingdom

For what is in essence the town park to be one of the highest rated attractions for any town on Trip Advisor it must be something special, but in this case it is. The Quarry, where Percy Thrower was Parks Superintendent for nearly thirty years, is a superb open space which not only contains the excellent Dingle garden, but the beautiful rows of Lime trees that form a central avenue between the Hercules statue and Percy Throwers house, the Quarry lodge, with the excellent St Chads Church as a back drop, and also line the River Severn walkway from the Porthill footbridge all the way to the Greyfriars footbridge. The Dingle is truly superb and all I can say is do not to miss this and walk the wonderful Lime paths when you visit Shrewsbury.

My family and I visited Lathkill Dale today, we walked from Monyash along the river, it’s quite steep in places. The scenery is amazing, so picturesque. The walk is very peaceful and enjoyable, there’s different paths you can take but we stayed by the river. we will definitely visit again in the very near future ????????

River Avon

This scenic river runs through the center of Bath and offers pleasant walking trails along its banks and boat tours.

Reviewed By JohnD209 - Leavenworth, United States

The River Avon – There are several rivers named Avon in Britain as Avon is a cognate of the Welsh word afon, or river. The Avon River that flows through Bath and Bristol rises just north of Acton Turville in South Gloucestershire and is navigable from Bath to Bristol. It is 121 km long, the 19th longest river in the United Kingdom. The stretch from the Pulteney Bridge in Bath downstream 700 meters to the Bath Locks and the river at Bristol are particularly popular stretches for riverside strolls, although picturesque bridges span the river throughout its length. Visited late Fall 2019.

The River Cam

Reviewed By 70ish - Worcester, United Kingdom

The river Cam is a very calm pretty river and it is worth taking one of the punt trips the very friendly and knowledgeable guides keep you entertained with histories and stories of the college's you pass and the bridges you float beneath. On a sunny spring afternoon it was an absolutely pleasant way to while away an hour.

Royal Military Canal

Reviewed By JudithTintern - Yeovil, United Kingdom

We visited 3 parts of the canal. We put our kayak in at Hamstreet - the bridge near the garden centre and paddled to Bilsington and back. Lovely peaceful stretch of the canal. We visited Hythe Lock and walked a fair bit of the canal. A good, free car park and stunning views. We also parked in Hythe and walked a stretch. Really lovely. The bottom line - its quite stunning to walk by and kayak on. For kayaking you have to have a licence from Hythe Lock to Seabrook which is why we explored further up - glad we did.
