Bowness-on-Windermere is a vibrant tourist town located on the shores of Windermere, roughly halfway along the lake’s 10.5-mile stretch, between Waterhead and Lakeside. The town flourished after the railway line from Oxenholme and Kendal to Windermere opened in 1847, establishing it as the closest accessible point on the lake.
