Local Activities
The areas surrounding Lake Windermere are some of the most picturesque in the Lake District, picture perfect cottages, dreamy landscapes and quaint villages not to mention home to some of the ever popular Lake District hotspots. Loved by Beatrix Potter, it's not hard to fall in love with the village of Hawkshead and the surrounding hamlets of High Wray, Near Sawrey and Far Sawrey. Close by at Near Sawrey is Beatrix Potter's Hill Top, while the idyllic western shores of Lake Windermere are just a short walk away. From here you can soak up the incredible views from nearby Claife Viewing Station or enjoy a lakeside walk to the imposing Wray Castle. You could also choose to escape to the peaceful shores of neighbouring Esthwaite Water and Blenheim Tarn. The countryside around Sawrey Knotts really is some of the beautiful the Lakes has to offer.
At the southern tip of Lake Windermere lies the quaint hamlet of Lakeside which as the name suggests enjoys open access to the lake shore. A favourite for families looking to explore, nearby attractions include the Aquarium of the Lakes, the Lakeland Motor Museum, the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Steam Railway & Fell Foot Park.
