Lake Windermere

Stretching out for 11 miles, Windermere is the longest body of water in England. A variety of vessels cruise around, steadily ferrying visitors from shore to shore. While the water itself is loved by rowers, wind-surfers, swimmers and all manner of watersports enthusiasts, the lake’s surrounding trails offer a paradise for hikers and ramblers.

    Stunning.

    Stunning. If you're in Bowness and look north towards the mountains north of Ambleside, it's one of the best views in the UK. There is also a viewpoint a little way north on the road from Bowness to Ambleside.

    Lake Windermere is very popular and can be busy around the Jetty areas where people take a trip on the water. Just out of town the Lake Jetty Museum show some beautiful boats that have seen time on the water. There is also a trip you can purchase there. For motor fanatics, the motor museum just out of town shows a very extensive selection of cars bikes and motor vehicles of all areas. They also show the world land and water speed records made by the Campbells. Definitely worth a visit if you are Into that kind of thing. A cafe is available. Parking is a available at both places.

    Although Windermere has the most transportation options,...

    Although Windermere has the most transportation options, restaurants, hotels and shops, it is extremely crowded with big city traffic. Neighboring lakes are just as it more charming and much quieter. This was my first time to the Lakes District, and I would skip Windermere in the future for other lakes.

    Windermere is the largest natural lake in England.

    Windermere is the largest natural lake in England. It is a ribbon lake formed in a glacial trough after the retreat of ice at the start of the current interglacial period. It has been one of the country's most popular places for holidays and summer homes since the arrival of the Kendal and Windermere Railway's branch line in 1847. Historically forming part of the border between Lancashire and Westmorland, it is now within the county of Cumbria and the Lake District National Park.
