Things to do in Windermere, England: The Best Outdoor Activities

February 8, 2022 Sheron Bogner

This popular resort town is located just a mile from Windermere Lake, the largest lake in Europe and alleged home of more than one peculiar sea creature. If we've scared you out of skiing, boating and fishing in Windermere Lake, there's always horseback riding and golf. Or you can explore the lake from the safety of a ferryboat, which regularly takes passengers from Hawkshead to Bownes.

Hello, thank you for your interest in a special day fishing the iconic Windermere. You & up to 2 guests will enjoy the beautiful scenery onboard a motorboat. Spent a relaxing day fishing with a professional experienced guide such as myself, I'm a passionate Angler who has fished 30+ years & have featured in Anglers Mail numerous times. The lake has an abundance of various freshwater fish to specimen size with a great opportunity of a stunning photo before fish are returned. A perfect day out.
