Lake Windermere is just a short walk away from the town and, at 10.5 miles long, it is England's largest lake. The lake itself offers extensive, breathtaking views and offers plenty to do on a short break, from hiring a boat or a kayak to having a relaxing tour on a cruise.

Windermere is a small, bustling town and has a variety of shops, cafes and restaurants, perfect for a weekend getaway or mini break.
