Driving Kirkstone Pass to Ulswater | Lake District Scenic Drive Timelapse 4K Cumbria UK

Driving the steep and twisty Kirkstone Pass to Ulswater Lake District Scenic Drive

Welcome everybody to this video, where we are traveling up and over the Kirkstone Pass in the Lake District, which is a national park up in the North West part of the UK, also known as Cumbria.

The Kirkstone Pass is the Lake District's highest pass traversable by road. It is at an altitude of 1,489 feet (454 m).

Close to the summit stands The Kirkstone Pass Inn. Once a vital coaching inn, it now caters primarily for tourists. It is the third-highest public house in England. The name of the pass comes from a prominent stone, the Kirkstone, which stands a few yards from the road on the Patterdale side of the inn.

At the bottom of the pass is Ullswater, which is a glacial lake, formed after the last ice age by a glacier scooping out the valley floor, which then filled with meltwater.

It is the second largest lake in the region by both area and volume, after Lake 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)

Ullswater's attractions include the Ullswater "Steamers" which offer trips around the lake.

Another of attraction is the waterfall of Aira Force, midway along the lake on the western side, which is our destination for today

Ulswaterter is also the setting for the famous “Daffodil” poem by William Wordsworth....
“I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze”

Buy me a Coffee....
