The countryside around Windermere and Bowness, including the Lyth and Bowness-in-Windermere PierWinster valleys, is rich in gourmet pubs and country house hotels offering fine dining second-to-none. There are things to do in and around Windermere and Bowness whatever the season. Come to explore Lake Windermere, host of the Great North Swim, for sailing and watersports, or just to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the area. You can take a lake cruise all year round.
