Insider Tips for Bowness on Windermere

  • Visit The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, where you can immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Peter Rabbit and other beloved characters. The attraction includes interactive exhibits and a beautiful garden.
  • Explore the stunning gardens and grounds of the National Trust’s Wray Castle, located nearby. The castle offers fantastic views of Lake Windermere and is a great place for a family picnic or a leisurely walk.
  • For outdoor enthusiasts, take a hike up Orrest Head, a relatively easy walk that rewards you with panoramic views over Lake Windermere and the surrounding fells. It’s a perfect spot for photography and enjoying the natural beauty of the Lake District.
