Pooley Bridge to Gale Bay

⌖ Ullswater · Pooley Bridge

A shore walk described as 0.9km each way, graded ‘for some’. Despite being short, this is not an easy dog-buggy recommendation: the official guide warns about steep ramps and a cross-slope.

What we know

Practical details

✓ Miles Without Stiles✓ For some✓ Steep ramps✓ Wheeled-access warning

Visitor viewA 1:4 ramp is followed by a 1:5 descent with a 1:8 cross-slope, which the National Park warns may be dangerous for wheeled equipment. The final rough 150-metre extension is unsuitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs. Consider Dunmallard Wood's short riverside path as an alternative.

Before bookingDo not choose this route simply because it has no stiles. Assess the official slope warnings and your loaded buggy before travelling.

Policies, opening times and services can change. Confirm anything essential directly before making a special journey or booking.
