About the location

Bowness-on-Windermere is a very pretty and busy tourist village situated on the banks of Windermere in the magnificent Lake District National Park. It is the main terminal for cruises on Windermere lake and has numerous restaurants, pubs and tourist shops, two small supermarkets, a cinema and newsagents. The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction and the Old Laundry Theatre and annex are almost next door to my apartment. It is also easy to find peace and quiet above the village where there are some superb views over the lake.

The nearby twin village of Windermere has a railway station with regular services to and from Oxenholme Lake District and Manchester Airport, and the adjacent bus station has services to Kendal, Barrow, Morecambe, Bowness, itself, and to Keswick, Ambleside, Grasmere, Hawkshead, Coniston and Great Langdale in the National Park. There is a nearby car ferry across the lake to the quiet countryside around Hawkshead.

The Lake District is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with rugged mountains, breathtaking lakes and valleys, pretty villages and towns and numerous quaint pubs and excellent restaurants. There are loads of things to do, including hiking, sailing, wild swimming and 'adventure' activities such as rock climbing and mountain biking. Within easy reach of Bowness are the unique Morecambe Bay and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
