Henge monuments Arthur’s Round table, a Neolithic earthwork, and Mayburgh Henge with a large standing stone in a circular bank, are about a mile walk away. For fell walkers the High Street range is just 5 miles away and Helvellyn 10 miles away. There are multiple walks and cycle routes within the vicinity. The Ullswater steamers operate between Pooley Bridge, Howtown, Glenridding and Aira Force with a stunning waterfall you can walk to. You may even be lucky enough to see red squirrels there. You can combine walks with trips on the steamers from all these piers. Other activities include pony trekking, cycling, sailing instruction, hiring boats and of course, walks. The Ullswater Way is about 20 miles for those seeking a longer walk.
