Top Things to do in Windermere
The 5 Best Sights & Landmarks in Windermere, England
This popular resort town is located just a mile from Windermere Lake, the largest lake in Europe and alleged home of more than one peculiar sea creature. If we've scared you out of skiing, boating and fishing in Windermere Lake, there's always horseback riding and golf. Or you can explore the lake from the safety of a ferryboat, which regularly takes passengers from Hawkshead to Bownes.

Absolutely love this walk! It's a must for people who aren't as athletic and still want to experience the beauty and the views of the lakes, it's just a short walk from windermere and only takes you about 30 minutes to get the top! Which didn't take me long! absolutely breath taking views and a lovely pub just a short walk from it ????

A great path that can allow you to include Grasmere water as a circular route about 3 miles. Extending the walk can include Loughrigg terrace, Rydal caves and many other walking routes. Certainly not to be missed. Great place for children to enjoy stone skimming and walking along the small pebbley beach Don't forget if heading towards Ambleside or coming from look out for the Rydal Stepping stones which are great fun for ALL

Once a Roman road linking some of Englands major forts, visitors can take scenic hiking trips along the route to soak up the scenic beauty and history of Englands Lake District.

We are staying in a holiday let just off the front street and it’s so good to have all of the facilities within a stones throw. There’s a booths supermarket for a ‘proper shop’ and a cooperative and Sainsbury’s for convenience items. The high street itself has plenty of eateries and shops to browse and a few art galleries. Really enjoyed our stay here. Will be back.
