Our second day in the Lake District, England. Mr John Stakes, our host at the Honister House B&B, suggested that we take a scenic drive to Ullswater, second largest lake in the Lake District and do a walk to the waterfall called the Aira Force.
Our first destination for the day is Pooley Bridge, located at the northern part of Ullswater.
We arrived at Pooley Bridge at about 11 AM. Naturally we walked about and search for the namesake, Pooley Bridge. This is a place where steamer boat rides on the lake can be boarded.

We did not go for a ride on the steamer. Instead, we took a walk on a trail by the side of the lake.
Not an easy trail, a bit muddy, rocky and some natural obstacles to overcome but still, it was pretty manageable.
