Welcome to Watermillock

Watermillock is a small village located in the county of Cumbria, England. It is situated on the eastern shore of Ullswater, one of the largest lakes in the Lake District National Park. The village is surrounded by stunning natural beauty, with rolling hills, lush green forests, and crystal-clear waters. It is a popular destination for tourists who come to enjoy the peaceful countryside and take part in outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and fishing.

One of the main attractions in Watermillock is the historic St. James' Church, which dates back to the 16th century. The church is located on a hill overlooking Ullswater and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. It is a popular spot for weddings and other special events, and visitors can also take a guided tour of the church to learn more about its history and architecture.

Another popular attraction in Watermillock is the Ullswater Steamers, which offer scenic boat trips around the lake. Visitors can choose from a range of different cruises, including a one-way trip to Glenridding or a full round-trip of the lake. The steamers are a great way to see the stunning scenery of the Lake District from a different perspective and are a must-do activity for anyone visiting Watermillock.
