Lake Windermere Cruises

Set sail on Windermere and see the sights of the English Lake District. These cruises are a must for a first time lake goer. Sailing from the edge of Windermere in Bowness, these tours travel the length of the lake and pass mountains, castles, forests and show the peace and calm of one of the most beautiful places in the world.

The Angel Inn

The Angel Inn is a real gem in the Lakes! Dog friendly, huge selection of locally brewed beers, a wide and varied menu of freshly prepared food. Open log fires in the winter and a garden overlooking the mountains and lakes in the summer – what more could you ask for? We’ve been going here yearly for the best part of a decade now and have yet to be anything short of impressed!
