Ullswater
Set in 18 acres of woodland at the heart of Wordsworth country, our Ullswater centre is based on the north shore of the lake.
Centre-based participants might canoe or kayak on the lake and could enjoy a stay in our high mountain lodge as part of an expedition, nestling under Helvellyn - one of The Lake District's highest peaks.
Courses at Outward Bound Ullswater can also include rock climbing and ropes courses.

Whether you are coming from inside the UK or from further afield, our aim is to make it as easy as possible for you to get to your chosen Outward Boundcentre. There are a number of travel options:
In the car
If you are bringing someone else to start their course, this gives you the chance to enjoy a few hours at the centre, see our facilities and meet some of our instructors. Given all our centres are in particularly beautiful places, you can make the journey a day out together. You may even decide to make a short break out of your journey and we can advise on a selection of hotels and B&Bs close to the centres.
Escorted travel
We have a special relationship with an extremely reliable and competitive coach company and can provide you with a detailed quote for transport to and from any of our centres in the UK.
To discuss your requirements please contact our Customer Services Team on 01931 740000.
Rail pick-ups
For those wishing to travel by rail we offer a pick up service from Penrith Station. Please call the Ullswater centre to advise them of your arrival time.
Combination travel
It may well suit your plans to combine travel arrangements. For example, you may wish to bring those participating to the centre and then let us drop them back off at the nearest rail station for their return journey. They are likely to be travelling with lots of new-found friends!
International travel
For the increasing number of participants coming from outside the UK, we can advise on the most convenient airports and transport to the escorted travel pick-up point (during the holiday season). For those wishing to attend a course and travelling from France or Spain, we do have agents in these countries who could arrange the whole booking process for you, please contact us for further information.
