Scenic Views: Ullswater, Lake District, Cumbria

There are many beautiful drives in the Lake District National Park in the North West of England. This is a view of Ullswater from a lay-by on the A592.

The drive along the A592 is also very pretty, but not one you really want to try in winter if there is ice or snow about. There is easy access to the Lake District via the M6 motorway - typically junctions 36 to 40.
