Hotels in Ulverston

On the trail of Laurel and Hardy in Ulverston�

Nestled in the heart of the Furness peninsula in Cumbria, Ulverston is a labyrinth of cobbled streets, old buildings and cosy pubs. It's also the start of the Cumbria Way, a 70-mile walk through the Lake District to Carlisle.

Take a walk on the wild side at South Lakes Safari Zoo

Home to more than 1,000 rare and endangered animals, this zoo in Dalton-in-Furness, now under new ownership, offers a memorable family day out. The big cats are the star attractions, but there's so much more to see and do.

Walk the idyllic Cumbria Way

The Cumbria Way is one of the UK's most popular long-distance footpaths. The stretch between Ulverston and Coniston takes you on a pleasant journey through farmers' fields and country lanes before you reach the Lakes at Beacon Tarn. The final part of the walk runs alongside a lakeside path beside the stunning Coniston Water.
