Pooley Bridge Online

Pooley Bridge is a stunning little lakeland village positioned at the Northeastern end of lake Ullswater.

 The village is built around a 16th century stone bridge which crosses the river Eamont and was once a very important market town for the region. In modern times the village is a major tourist attraction and is the main camping region for this part of the lakes in easy reach of Keswick and Ambleside.

Pleasure ferries operate on the lake at regular times in the summer months where you can experience the feel of old day steamers.

 The water is hometo some good shoals of fish including trout and the very rare vendace along with several other coarse fish species.

To the north of the village is Dunmallard Hill where the remains of an iron-age fort can be found and stunning views over the lake and village can be seen from.

The village has a few campsites around its surrounding hills and a couple of very nice inns and hotels which can be found on our campsite and inns pages.
