Or, leave the crowds behind and walk straight onto the fell from your door to admire Lake Windermere from afar. Stroll down to the lake shore, where hire boats come and go, and you can catch a Windermere Lake Cruises steamer to Ambleside or Lakeside - a scenic way to explore without taking your car. Couples might enjoy a romantic evening cruise on Lake Windermere, and young families enjoy fun attractions such as mini golf on the 'Glebe', a miniature steam train, the Lakes Aquarium, and open top Lake District bus tours departing. Don't forget that Windermere Golf Club is located just outside Bowness. Touring the wider Lake District is simple and scenic by car from Bowness. Head a couple of miles up the road to Windermere, and you'll link up to the A591 - the main route into the heart of the Lakes.
