Windermere Lake Cruises has a tight schedule of trips on old-fashioned steamboats or modern tourist boats. If you only want to see a part of the lake, the 45-minute boats leave from Bowness Pier every half hour during the summer. But if you can't get enough of those forested island and mountain views, take longer trips from Bowness to Lakeside on the lake's south shore, about 90 minutes.

The much-loved children's author and illustrator had close ties to the Lake District, holiday in Holehird, near Windermere, and buying a house on Hill Top, on the west bank from the lake.

Manchester beer magnate Sir Edward Holt ordered this home as a vantage point near Bowness-on-Windermere in the early 1900s. The architect was Baillie Scott, a luminary of the Arts and Crafts movement, and the house has spent the last 120 years with all its fixtures and fittings in place. A must-see!

One mile north of the town of Windermere, Holehird Gardens is a demonstration garden and the headquarters of the Horticultural Society of Lakeland. The garden has plants that are well adapted to the stony soils and humid climate of the Lake District, and features alpine houses, rock and heather gardens and a lovely walled garden noted for its herbaceous borders.

Located behind Bowness-on-Windermere, Brant Fell is 192 meters high and has a wonderful perspective of the lake. As the name suggests, this 3.5-mile circular hike takes you away from the busy lakefront, in summer. The climb can be quite steep in places, through woods and open fields to a bare summit, stopping at a lookout point at Post Knott along the way.
