THE LOCAL AREA
Bowness-on-Windermere surrounds part of Windermere Lake shore. From the famous pier, you can board a steamer or hire other types of boat for a trip on the
Lake. A Lake trip gives an excellent vantage point to admire the stunning scenery. It can also be a novel mode of transport to take you to other destinations
such as Ambleside, to visit the landmark Bridge House and Stock Ghyll Force Waterfalls or Newby Bridge, to tour the Lakes Aquarium or ride on the Lakeside and
Haverthwaite steam railway. There are a wealth of shops and eateries in Bowness, as well as a cinema, theatre, and the Windermere Jetty Museum and World of
Beatrix Potter Attraction.
Windermere town also has many shops and eateries as well as a railway station that connects to the West Coast mainline at Oxenholme. Near to the station is
the start of the walk to Orrest Head, this 20-minute walk gives spectacular views on a clear day.
Public transport links around both Bowness and Windermere are excellent, in addition to trains and boats the Open-Top Buses with commentary, provide links to
places including Grasmere and Keswick.
From the end of the cul-de-sac on which Brow Top sits, you can turn left on to a footpath that leads to the Dales Way and nearby peaks including Brantfell and
School Knott.
