Lake Windermere Overview
At 17kms (10.5 miles) long and plunging to 61m (200ft) deep in places, Lake Windermere is the largest lake in England. It forms part of the Lake District National Park and is in an area of outstanding natural beauty with numerous stunning walking trails.

Other attractions in the area include the Aquarium of the Lakes, the Beatrix Potter Attraction, the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, Fell Foot Park and the South Lakes Wild Animal Park.
