Difficult to imagine that on this day in 1955, Donald Campbell achieved 202.32mph on Ullswater aboard Bluebird K7. When looking down on the Patterdale Estate and Ullswater itself from Arinson Cragg this evening, it really does make you appreciate the history and the beauty of this valley in equal measure... 🤓😎

Last year we made a change to some of our Lakeshore. We gave it to nature. This marshy land was not good for grazing but even worse for biodiversity.

A year later we have a wildlife haven, filled with wildflowers and special habitat which lead you from our holiday park down to our private shores.

We're so incredibly lucky to call this place ours, and to share with all our wonderful guests.

For all who have chosen to stay at Patterdale, just know that you've helped protect and grow this amazing place.

Eyes peeled for Yarrow, Hawkbit, Tall Reed, Saxifrage, Stitchwort and Field forget-me not 🌺 ❤️

🪵 The Bothies: 13th – 17th July - A simple lakeside retreat, ideal if you're planning to tackle the Helvellyn paths.

🏡 Hollow Lodge: 11th – 17th July - Tucked away, peaceful, and perfect for stepping straight outside into lakeside walks.

Any time I need to pause and reflect, this is where I come.

🎶 The sounds of the water and wildlife while watching Ullswater Steamers elegantly sail up the lake always resets things.
