ULLSWATER ‘Steamers’ has announced a major investment project to redevelop its visitor facilities at Glenridding.
Phase one of the project will be the construction of a pier extension which will allow greater flexibility in the way that the vessels operate.
The investment will result in improved service reliability and better connectivity, especially for the Aira Force shuttle service.
This project will also allow greater safety and security for the fleet during winter months when the boats may be at risk from high water level events.
Phase two of the project will include major improvements to the Pierhouse at Glenridding, with redeveloped toilets, retail, parking and refreshment areas.
