The 9 Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers in Windermere, England

December 8, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

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.

Michael Coates Clay Shooting

Providing Clay Pigeon Shooting, Archery and Axe throwing for beginners, intermediate and more experienced shooters all over the Lake District, with our main site between Windermere and Kendal. Fantastic scenic setting with a log burner if its cold and cover if its raining. With locally sourced food that is smoked on site it completes the perfect shooting site.

We had a lovely weekend stay at the Wild Boar Inn in September and had pre-booked for a mix of Clay Shooting, Archery and Axe-throwing for our group of adults. Unfortunately due to one of Mike's instructors having a serious road traffic accident immediately prior to our arrival Mike had to cancel the archery element. [Steve, glad to hear that you're on the mend and hope you get back to full fitness soon.] Those who were going to do archery were offered a transfer across to the other activities by Mike, but they chose to have a long-lie and a refund instead. What a bad decision, because they missed-out on a fantastic, fun-filled brilliant morning where the rest of us had a great time shooting and throwing axes. Mike is a superb natural instructor/coach with a super friendly encouraging style that helped every member of our group of 6 adults to actually hit more clays than we missed: the man is a genius. He guarantees that he can teach anyone to hit a clay during his session - and the man was true to his word - no matter how inept we all thought we were and how inexperienced and un-skilled we thought we were, Mike was able to draw out the best in us and help us achieve our goals. Everyone in our group came away enthusing about his lovely friendly personality, his skills in regards to clay shooting and axe-throwing and how his professionalism shone tnrough in every way that he inter-acted with us. From a personal perspective I could not believe how easily he managed to get me - a 100% right-handed person who just happens to have a significant left eye dominance - to shoot, and HIT, the clays left-handed, when I was absolutely useless shooting right-handed. I'll say it again, the man is a genius, with such a lovely personality. We can also thoroughly recommend the Axe Throwing from the list of events that Mike offers. We progressed from Angel Axes through to the bigger and heavier Hand Axes and everything was done so brilliantly and with such good humour that any initial safely fears that some members of our party had at the start were gone very quickly. We had a marvellous fun-filled morning and really enjoyed everything that Mike offered in the way of advice and positive encouragement and can only say that he is a marvellous coach/instructor with a range of events that will appeal to everyone. I fully recommend Mike's company for clay shooting and for axe-throwing, and to be honest, if his other activities [which unfortunately we were not able to enjoy on the day] are handled similarly then I'm sure everyone will enjoy those too. A fantastic day's fun - to be recommended for all.........

Came here today on a wet and wild day but that didn't dampen our enthusiasm there is something for everyone here from den building woodland walks boat rides and archery which I would highly recommend the girl running it must of had the patience of a saint due to my cack handedness it cost £10 for a 45 minute session but is great fun once you get the hang of it there are also plenty of adventure playgrounds to burn off those cakes from the cafe also a zip wire and a tree top trek for the more adventurous also plenty of picnic areas as the cafe's are a little pricey

Treetop Nets

Imagine over 1500m2 of giant trampolines, walkways, slides and tunnels all made from netting, suspended between trees high above the ground and set in beautiful oak woodland. Treetop Nets offers an amazing new way to adventure high up in the tree canopy. Our tree-mendously bouncy nets feature giant ball parks, super fast slides and aerial walkways through the tree canopy, promising boundless fun for any age in a beautiful woodland setting, overlooking the shore of Windermere. It’s a treetop adventure not to be missed. Unlike traditional ropes courses, you will be completely surrounded by 4m high walls of netting, meaning you are safe to explore the treetops without a harness. Suitable for all ages, from age 3 upwards (adult supervision required for under 5s)
