The Lake District is the UK’s largest and most frequently visited National Park, and the 900 square miles of dramatic terrain, chiselled and weathered to perfection by nature over a period of millions of years, is home to some of England’s most stunning and romantic scenery. At the heart of The Lake District is Lake Windermere; at over 10 miles long, Windermere is England’s largest lake and possesses a mysterious and intriguing charm that enchants many thousands of visitors every year. Windermere is popular with yachtsmen and windsurfers, and the many traditional steamers and pleasure cruisers that meander across the lake offer the perfect way of viewing the lake and its surroundings. The shores of Lake Windermere are populated by pretty villages and towns such as Ambleside and Windermere, as well as the picture postcard village of Bowness-on-Windermere, a magnet for tourists and in summer a bustling, lively throng with its quaint shops, quintessentially English tea rooms and well-known restaurants and Lakeland inns.
