If you have heard of the Lake District or have visited, you’ll most likely have heard of Windermere. It’s one of the most accessible parts of the Lakes and one that I always head back to as a base for my trip. But with the rise of the staycation, it’s quickly become one of the most popular parts too.
On my last trip, I discovered a spot that’s tucked away from the hustle and bustle and is a very short walk from Bowness-on-Windermere. So, if you’re looking for a moment of tranquility in the busiest part of the Lakes, head to Cockshott Point. Weather permitting - you can expect pink skies and complete stillness at dusk. Dreamy.
To get here from Bowness Pier - head towards Glebe Road and keep following the road past Boaters Bar. Just after this, you’ll see a wooden signpost to Cockshott Point. Follow the path through the gates and you will arrive! I recommend ordering takeaway pizza from Sourdough Pizza Co in Ambleside so that you can indulge with a view.
Thanks for reading.
