Welcome to Windermere
The largest natural lake in England (and the name of the small town that hugs its eastern flank), Windermere is the jewel of the Lake District in Cumbria, one of England’s oldest and most-visited national parks. Boating along the 11-mile-long (18-kilometer-long) lake is among the top things to do, though cycling its perimeter is also a good way to take in the scenery, about which William Wordsworth once rhapsodized. The region is also associated with author Beatrix Potter, and a visit to her Hill Top farm is a popular family-friendly choice.
