Visitor guide
Windermere town sits above the lake, not on it — Bowness has the shore. The railway made it, Orrest Head (Wainwright’s first Lakeland fell) sits behind the station, and the village is hotels, shops and a slightly Victorian air.
It is the easiest place in the Lakes to arrive without a car, and a good base if you want boats, buses and a proper high street.
The view that started Wainwright; signed from the station, suitable for most walkers.
Quiet little fell behind town, looking down on the lake and railway.
Down through the woods to the steamers and the bay.
