Howtown is a small, remote hamlet situated on the eastern shore of Ullswater, a prominent lake within the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, North West England, lying several miles south-west of the market town of Penrith. Characterized by its tranquil setting and limited accessibility via a narrow, winding road, it offers a sense of seclusion amidst the dramatic Cumbrian fells. The hamlet is a popular starting point for hikers and those seeking a quieter experience of the national park, with the Howtown Hotel serving as a notable landmark and base for visitors. Its position on Ullswater also allows for connections via the lake's steamer service, linking it to other points along the water.
