:: Bowness-on-Windermere ::

Info on Bowness. More info.

Finally, we had the chance to take the lake cruise from Bowness.

Our Red Cruise trip was from Bowness to Ambleside or Vice Versa.
some info on the trip :
The round trip from Bowness can be taken as a 70 minute non-landing cruise.
Alternatively you may disembark at either Ambleside or Bowness returning on a later boat.

:: Bridge House, Ambleside ::

Bridge House, a tiny stone-built house straddling Stock Beck* in Ambleside, is one of the Lake District's best known landmarks, at least in part because it stands directly by the main A591 road along which most visitors to the Lakes will travel at least once during their stay.

:: The Lakes Aquarium, Lake Windermere ::

At first, our original plan was to take the lake cruise, however, as the place was on flood, all of the boats and trains were not available. The only option that we had was headed to the aquarium. Hmmm..

Welcome To Windermere

England's largest and arguably, prettiest lake, more than ten miles long, and at it's deepest 220ft (65m) is situated in beautiful countryside at the southern end of The Lake District. Many of the best loved mountains are visible from the lake and it' s shores.

The town of Windermere in Cumbria, England is situated in The Lake District National Park ands lies 1 kilometer from Lake Windermere, the town itself dosn't touch the lake, and is sometimes confused with the older town of Bowness On Windermere, over the years both towns have grown in population and are sometimes mistaken as one.
