Windermere
Windermere, on the banks of the lake, is much smaller than Kendal but often very busy. The town is about 20 minutes drive from Pout Howe, in the opposite direction from Kendal. It offers good shops, including a larger Booths supermarket.
Windermere & Bowness Activities
The World Of Beatrix Potter™ Attraction The kids are likely to love it, but this attraction is highly commercial. You might be better crossing the lake on the ferry and visiting Beatrix Potter’s actual house – see Elsewhere in the Lakes |
Windermere Lake Cruises A good way to see the lake. Cruises operate on a regular timetable between Bowness, Ambleside (which is well worth visiting and has a fantastic adventure playground) and Lakeside. |
