The 6 Best Things to do Adventurous in Bowness-on-Windermere, England

November 4, 2021 Weston Hennigan

Bowness-on-Windermere is a town in South Lakeland, Cumbria, England. Due to its position on the banks of Windermere, the town has become a tourist honeypot. Although their mutual growth has caused them to become one large settlement, the town is distinct from the town of Windermere as the two still have distinguishable town centres. Historically part of Westmorland, in 2012, Bowness was one of the official stop off points for the Olympic torch before it made its way to the Olympic Games opening ceremony.

Sail 'N' Dine

April 2021 marks 35 years of trading and my 14th season, Sail N Dine is the longest running yachting business on Windermere. I operate from Friday to Tuesday and offer 3 different experiences. The 10.30 to 1.30 lunch sail for up to 6 people gives a hands on sailing experience with a fantastic lunch (Sat, Sun, Mon & Tue). The evening sail leaves at 6pm and is a taste of true yachting, eating and drinking out on the Lake! Your 4 course dinner is cooked by me, using the finest local produce and cooked to your specification, whilst the conversation (and wine)flows! I take from 2 to 6 guests on a private basis only (Sat, Mon & Tue). I also offer a 2 hour private afternoon experience without food (Fri & Sun). You must have guessed by now that I am completely a one man band! I am receptionist, chauffeur, wine waiter, skipper, chef and washer upper! Have a look at my website for details, prices, availability and booking and if you have any questions please give me a call or drop me an email.

Wow. What an amazing, hilarious experience this was. My partner and I booked to see how well we would do getting out of the cutting room! We escaped with 15 seconds to spare! Minimal arguments, several screams and lots of laughs. So much effort is put into the games and puzzles by the team. The decor was fab and the whole set up was so good! We really enjoyed our time and I would recommend everyone to visit. Best one we’ve been to. Thanks so much!!
