Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria - a photo on Flickriver

Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria

A popular tourist town on the shore of Windermere, about halfway along the 12 mile length of the lake between Waterhead at the North end, and Lakeside at the South end. It developed after the opening of the railway line to Windermere in 1847.

Now Cumbria’s most popular destination, the town is busy for much of the year. People come to enjoy the lake for sailing and watersports, or just to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the area and the town’s delightful setting.

The Victorian influence can be seen everywhere. In the late 19th century, wealthy businessmen from Lancashire built large residences overlooking the lake and brought great wealth to the area. Most of these residences have now been converted into luxury hotels.

PS
Bowness-on-Windermere should not be confused with Windermere. They are two different places, albeit that with the passing of time their mutual growth has caused them to become one place. They still have two distinguishable, and separate, town centres.
