About Ullswater
Ullswater is a glacial lake in Cumbria, England. It is part of the Lake District and is the second largest lake in the region by both area and volume, after Windermere. The lake is about 7 miles (11 km) long, 0.75 miles (1 km) wide, and has a maximum depth of 63 metres (207 ft). Its outflow is the River Eamont, which meets the River Eden at Brougham Castle before flowing into the Solway Firth. The lake historically formed part of the border between Cumberland and Westmorland.
