The hut is in Patterdale near Ullswater, at the heart of the Lake District’s Eastern Fells. It is ideally placed for the High Street range to the East, whilst from the front there is a splendid view of Helvellyn and its neighbouring fells: to reach them, all you have to do is put on your boots and walk from the hut. There are rock climbing and mountain biking opportunities from the front door, canoeing and sailing on Ullswater and pony trekking locally.
Members can now book directly through the Hut website. Before booking for the first time please register on the system. For any questions about registering or booking please email the Hut Booking Secretaries on george.starkey.hut@gmail.com. Club information
