South Lakes
Windermere Village

The town of Windermere doesn’t actually lie on the lake of the same name so don’t be disappointed when you get there! It is about a mile and a half away from the lake; the road leaving the town merges into Bowness-on-Windermere which sits beside the lake. It is a touristy little place with a selection of shops, hotels and B&B’s and is therefore an excellent base to stay if you intend to explore different areas of the Lakes and Cumbria.
