On the shore of Windermere, lake district, lies the bustling town of Bowness-on-Windermere, an extremely popular tourist town with its splendid Victorian hotels overlooking the lake, where visitors flock to sail, take in the atmosphere or participate in the many water sports on offer.

The town centre is a fascinating maze of narrow streets with many shops and houses intermingled with historic buildings and places of interest. Boat trips can be enjoyed from Bowness Pier to Lakeside Pier offering tourists a relaxing way to take in the sights and sounds of this fascinating area and visit local towns along the way.

A visit to The World of Beatrix Potter in the heart of the town brings the magical characters of the children’s books to life and is definitely a place to add to any itinerary.
