Local Area
Bowness-on-Windermere is situated midway along Lake Windermere and is one of the most popular Lake District holiday destinations. Bordering the lake is a long promenade with views over the small harbour and the lake, from where pleasure steamers take visitors cruising the length of the lake, to Ambleside in the north and Lakeside in the south. Although the scenery is beautiful driving around the lake, you can take the car ferry across to the far side of lake where it is possible to explore further afield. Walking up the hill from the lake you will find the bustling village of Bowness on Windermere. Down the hill from the apartment the village offers a good selection of restaurants, cafes and pubs as well as a variety of shops, small supermarkets and a larger Booths supermarket in nearby Windermere.
There are many and varied things to see and do from exhibitions, parks, an 18 hole pitch and put golf course, tennis courts, to climbing, water sports, cycling and walking as you explore the immediate area, National Parks and National Trust sites in the area and beyond. There are country walks directly from the apartment, the Dalesway runs through the field opposite the apartment and there are more challenging walks and climbs in the Lake District National Park
