Bowness-on-Windermere
40 min
Begin your Lake District adventure in the vibrant lakeside town of Bowness-on-Windermere, one of the National Park's most popular destinations. Here you'll have free time to explore at your own pace. You may choose to take an optional cruise across Lake Windermere, enjoying spectacular views of the surrounding fells from the water, or simply enjoy a leisurely walk along the lakeside promenade to soak up the scenery.

Ambleside
1 hour
Your journey continues to the picturesque market town of Ambleside, nestled at the northern tip of Lake Windermere. Wander its quaint streets, discover unique local shops and cafés, or take a gentle stroll towards the lakeside to enjoy spectacular mountain views. This charming town perfectly captures the character and beauty of the Lake District. (60 minutes) Fun Facts: Ambleside is largely Victorian and home to the Roman Galava Fort – ex-residence to 500 Roman soldiers. It grew rapidly when the ferry terminal opened in 1845. St Mary’s Church (1854) was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott. The 17th Century Bridge House over Stock Ghyll is one of the most photographed scenes in Lakeland.
