Windermere…. just a short walk away.

Bowness-on-Windermere is packed full of things to see and do, from the Beatrix Potter Centre or Steamboat Museum to countless shops and restaurants. Cruise ships sail from Bowness Bay several times an hour, or you can hire a rowing boat and explore the many islands and bays.

The village is a fine base from which to explore the Lake District and its entrancing scenery. Superb hill, woodland and waterfall walks proliferate or go pony trekking, cycling, climbing, sailing, fishing, golfing… the opportunities are endless.

The Lake District is a haven for photographers, painters, country crafts, bird watching or simply refreshing and revitalizing yourself. You can visit fine country houses and local interest museums, venture up steep Hardknott Pass to visit the Roman Fort, or take a trip to the mysterious 5000 year old stone circle at Castlerigg.
