Ullswater Steamers raise monies for RSPB

A Lake District business has stepped up to support nature by raising more than £1,000 for the RSPB. Ullswater Steamers held a series of wildlife-themed cruises last year, in partnership with the conservation charity. One of the most popular events, the Red Deer Cruise, enabled people to witness the red deer rut, when stags compete for supremacy. Attendees enjoyed a gentle cruise across the lake, followed by an escorted journey to the head of Martindale Valley to see the red deer up close.
