Storm and flood damage Glenridding, Lake District Cumbria, United Kingdom
Glenridding is a village located at the southern end of Ullswater, in the English Lake District. The village is popular with mountain walkers who can scale England's third highest mountain, Helvellyn, and many other challenging peaks from here. The village has accommodation including two Youth Hostels and camping sites. Glenridding House provides luxury Bed and Breakfast accommodation. There is also a tourist information centre, Ullswater Information Centre.[1] Glenridding is in the civil parish of Patterdale. Each year, on Easter Monday, a duck race is organised by the local mountain rescue team to raise funds. On 6 December 2015, Storm Desmond caused extensive and devastating flooding to the village, with torrential rainfall and rivers bursting their banks. Four days later, more rainfall caused rivers to burst their banks once again, leading to even more flood damage to businesses and homes in the village.[2][3][4]
