My father struggled to walk. This service was a life saver for us. It takes us across to the other side with a cafe waiting for us. The gents cheered us up no end.

Fleetwood to Knott End Ferry Service

Reviewed By JonathanG987 - London, United Kingdom

The ferry is both a pleasant little excursion from Fleetwood and a useful link for those wanting to get the bus to or from Lancaster or to cycle Northwards along the coast. The ferry carries passengers, cycles, prams and normally wheelchairs. However at present due to covid-19, wheelchair users are being advised not to use the ferry unless accompanied by capable companions as the crew cannot assist with boarding and disembarking. Check operating times, especially if planning to travel between Fleetwood and Lancaster by the ferry and bus, as it cannot operate at certain times due to low tides. Those who remember the old open boat from years ago please note that the new ferry is fully enclosed: it is not possible to stand or sit outside any more.

Windermere ferry

Reviewed By geofflancs - Cardiff, United Kingdom

This old fashioned chain ferry is a must for when you stay in Bowness. It takes you on a round tour around either Ambleside back to Bowness or past Coniston Water. Take your camera.

Myself and 2 friends went out for the day and took the ferry it was very windy but saw most of the water front on both sides of the river. If your visitors to Liverpool you must give it a go and also see the maritime museum its free to enter loads to see if you are interested in the likes of titanic and Liverpool history here's a picture of us leaving the landing stage it takes about 15_20 minutes to cross the river also in Birkenhead there's a German U_ boat you can visit enjoy
