Bowness-on-Windermere is a pleasant tourist town on the shore of Windermere.
Bowness-on-Windermere is Cumbria’s most popular destination, with the town busy for much of the year. People come to enjoy the lake for sailing and watersports, or just to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the area and the town’s delightful setting.
The Victorian influence can be seen everywhere - in the late 19th century, wealthy businessmen from Lancashire built large residences overlooking the lake, and many of these have now been converted to hotels, such as the Belsfield Hotel and the Windermere Hydro Hotel. Others houses include The National Park Visitor Centre at Brockhole, between Ambleside and Bowness.
