About this walk
Lowther Park is the wider, free-to-roam parkland and former deer park surrounding Lowther Castle, near Penrith and Ullswater, distinct from the paid formal gardens. Dogs can walk anywhere not marked private, across open grassland, woodland edges and estate tracks that form part of the Ullswater Way. A free-roaming cattle herd grazes the land, so dogs must stay on a lead unless no livestock is nearby.
