The twin villages of Bowness and Windermere, located in the Lake District, are both dynamic, fun-filled destinations. There are a wide variety of shops and restaurants in both towns, as well as a boat excursion to Bowness, the Lakeside Aquarium, and Beatrix Potter’s ‘Hill Top House’ at Sawrey, which is located in Ambleside. It is only a short drive away from the city centre, and the Grizedale Forest Park offers a variety of activities, including hiking, biking, and the “Go Ape” adventure park. For those looking for a more action-packed vacation, the area is home to numerous National Trust estates and a wide range of water activities.
