About

The Greystoke and Ullswater ward encompasses a large, rural area in the northeast of Westmorland and Furness. Its landscape is defined by the northern reaches of Ullswater, one of the region's major lakes, and the surrounding fells of the Lake District National Park. Settlements are small and scattered, including the villages of Greystoke, Pooley Bridge, and Glenridding. The local economy is closely tied to agriculture, forestry, and tourism centred on the lake.

The area contains significant upland commons and historic estates, with Greystoke Castle and its associated parkland being a notable landmark. Outdoor activities such as walking, sailing, and fishing are predominant. The northern shore of Ullswater, with its steamers and views towards Place Fell, offers a quieter contrast to the more visited central lakes. This is a sparsely populated ward where land use and community life are deeply influenced by the natural environment.
