We arrived at Bowness on Windermere & found a bed & breakfast in a local pub. It was a beautiful sunny June day so we decided to go on one of the lake cruises to Ambleside. The journey was 40 Min's long and it was lovely having the cool summer breeze on such a hot day. when we arrived at Ambleside which is the centre of English rock climbing and the country's most popular upland walking area, we walked into the town centre. It is a beautiful town with lots of specialist shops, they were lots of high quality restaurants & pubs, with a sampling of the vast selections of real ale available.
We stumbled across the football museum which is well worth a visit if you like football (actually I'm not a big fan & found it really interesting). Entry is free but there is a donation box where you can show your appreciation if you wish. We spent a good hour looking around.
We headed back after a few hours & did the cruise back to Bowness-on-Windermere and spent sometime just chilling out and taking it all in.
Bowness-on Windermere is Cumbria's most popular destination & has a Victorian setting which can be seen everywhere. We decided to have our evening meal at the Belsfield hotel mainly because it looked out over the lake.
We sat here for a couple of hours watching the spectacular view, it was pure bliss & the hotel food was lovely.
