The towns of Windermere and Bowness at the heart of the Lake District have been a magnet for visitors since Victorian times. With easy access to the lake shore of Windermere and panoramic views of the lake and surrounding fells, the area remains just as popular today.

Windermere, England’s longest lake, is a narrow finger of water some 17 km (10.5 miles) long, stretching from Ambleside in the north to Newby Bridge in the south. There are 14 islands in the lake, the largest of which is Belle Isle (formerly known as Longholme) with its unusual circular house. A ferry service has operated across the narrowest point of the lake (Bowness to Ferry House on the western shore) since the 15th century.

Originally a small hamlet called Birthwaite, the town of Windermere rose to prominence with the completion of the railway link from Kendal in 1847. The railway came and so did the visitors – some 120,000 in its first year, mainly from the industrial towns of Lancashire and Yorkshire. Horse-drawn carriages were laid on to ferry passengers from the station to the lakeside, whilst charabancs took hotel guests on sightseeing excursions around the area.

Until the 19th century, Bowness-on-Windermere was a fishing village. But once the railway came to Windermere, hotels, villas and boarding houses rapidly sprang up to accommodate the influx of visitors. Today, it is a bustling tourist destination offering a cosmopolitan mix of shops, restaurants and accommodation.

For wealthy Victorian businessmen from the urban areas, the Lakes was a haven of scenic tranquillity, and many of them acquired grand country retreats on Windermere, such as Storrs Hall (now a hotel) and Brockhole (now the Lake District National Park Visitor Centre).

Today, the area is a focus for pleasure cruises and a variety of watersports, such as sailing, kayaking and windsurfing. Away from the lake shore you’ll find a variety of heritage sites, historic houses, gardens and other visitor attractions.

a sense of place

Around the LakeEven without leaving dry land there is plenty to do all year round. Take a leisurely stroll along the lakeshore, explore the area by bicycle or open-top bus, or visit one of the numerous historic houses or gardens.

Viewpoints The short walk to Orrest Head (SD415994) 4 is well worth the uphill effort, for at the top is an outstanding panoramic view of the lake and surrounding mountains. Other viewpoints can be found at Biskey Howe (SD409969), Post Knott (SD406964), Hammar Bank (SD405991) and Queen Adelaide’s Hill (SD403987). Cockshott Point (SD396964) 5 , a rocky promontory jutting into Windermere, provides magnificent views over the lake.

6 Holehird Gardens (NY410009)This 10-acre hillside garden, managed by the Lakeland Horticultural Society, has been transformed from an abandoned rock garden into a ‘garden for all seasons’, with specimen trees, a walled garden with herbaceous borders, and displays of alpine plants. The national plant collections for astilbe, hydrangea and polystichum ferns are held here. Tel: 015394 46008 www.holehirdgardens.org.uk

7 Blackwell, the Arts & Crafts House (SD401946)Blackwell was built as a holiday home for Sir Edward Holt, a wealthy brewer from Manchester. No expense was spared in creating a finely detailed home that takes its inspiration from nature. The house was completed in 1900 to a design by Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott – one of the foremost architects of the Arts & Crafts movement. Changing exhibitions on contemporary and historic crafts.

Did you know?

In 1895 Windermere became ice-bound for 6 weeks, making it possible to walk from one side of the lake to the other.

Under the chancel at St Martin’s Church is the mass grave of 47 people who drowned in 1635 when their ferry capsized on the way back from a wedding in Hawkshead.

Legend says that whenever misfortune is about to happen in the area, a ghostly white horse walks on the water.

Windermere and Bowness were the second towns in England to have electric street lighting. The power was supplied from a hydro-electric plant at Troutbeck Bridge.

An aircraft factory was once sited at White Cross Bay, near Troutbeck Bridge, operating the Avro Seaplane Pleasure Flight Company.
