There is currently a rope swing on Ullswater next to some various height jumping ledges on the rocks, approx 2-5m high into deep water, ensure you jump out into the lake and not straight down as there is a little ledge to clear, The rope swing is over some shallow sharp stones so not suitable for anyone who is unable to confidently hold on and carry their body weight and lift their legs while swinging out to the deeper water. Absolutely perfect for adults acting like kids in the sunshine.
