Our first project, the Ullswater Way Heritage Trail follows the 22 mile Ullswater Way footpath around the lake. The Heritage Trail consists of 12 installations, each created by a local artist. The installations are designed to be in harmony with the natural surroundings. Each one celebrates a different aspect of the valley’s heritage.
The next talk is at 7.30pm on April 6th
at Watermillock Village Hall and by ZOOM

During lockdown we began gathering a treasure-trove of information about the Ullswater Valley. Memories, old photos, archives of the local history society, wildlife sightings, documents, paintings and so much more. We extend a huge thank you to all our writers and photographers and to the community members who have shared their knowledge and their memories of life in the valley.
