Windermere Way
The Windermere Way is a twin-centre walking holiday combining 2 nights in the lively lakeside town of Ambleside with 3 nights in the bustling Bowness-on-Windermere.
Each day you will do a different walk and use the Windermere Ferries to take you to or from Ambleside or Bowness. From Ambleside, you will catch your first ferry to the lovely lakeside town of Bowness, where you will begin walking. Over the next four days you will take in highlights such as the magnificent views from Wansfell Pike, the glistening Loughrigg Tarn, and some delightful lakeshore walking.
Most of the time you are walking on well maintained paths and trails and this is combined with some easy sections of road walking. Sometimes you will be climbing high up into the hills and at others you will be strolling along close to the lake on nice flat paths.
The Windermere Way includes hand-picked overnight accommodation in high quality B&B’s or guesthouses in Ambleside and Bowness. You can expect the highest levels of welcome, atmosphere and outstanding local cuisine. We also provide your baggage transfers between Ambleside and Bowness, a detailed map and route notes, and pre-departure information pack as well as emergency support, should you need it.
Highlights:
- Breathtaking views of the Lake District from the fells around Lake Windermere.
- Gentle walking alongside lakeshore paths.
- Enjoying the hustle and bustle of the popular lakeside towns of Ambleside and Bowness.
- Relaxing and taking in the scenery while cruising on one of Windermere's steamers.
