Today we enjoy one of the highlights of our tour: a visit to Lake Windermere! First we will stop at Bowness-on-Windermere, one of the most popular spots on the lake. There will be time to explore the lakefront and boutique shops and cafés before it's time to board our cruise.
Watch the stunning scenery go by as you sail on Lake Windermere towards the top of the lake at Ambleside. Once we disembark, you will have some free time to explore the high street in Ambleside before we return to the hotel.
Please note: the day may operate in reverse, with the cruise from Ambleside to Bowness-on-Windermere instead.
Today we return home.
You will stay for four nights at the 3-star Windermere Hotel in Bowness-on-Windermere, the 4-star Castle Inn Hotel near Keswick or the County Hotel in Kendal.
Location: Kendal Road Bowness-on-Windermere, Windermere, LA23 1AL
Overlooking the shores of England’s largest lake, the English heritage-listed Windermere Hotel has been welcoming guests since 1847 and is a firm favourite with visitors to the Lake District to this day. It is the perfect place from which to explore the lakes, and many of the region’s most stunning walks can be started nearby. The hotel’s period charm is sharply contrasted by its modern amenities, giving its guests the best of both worlds. Guests can enjoy fantastic and varied menus in the restaurant, and after spending time discovering the local area, why not have a nightcap in the Orrest Head Lodge bar? The lodge has wonderful views of the lake, and you can soak up the relaxing atmosphere as the sun goes down at night.Need further information?
