Windermere

Cumbria, United Kingdom

4.5 (0)

Overview

Largest natural lake in England. It sits in high or exposed country, where the weather changes fast and proper boots and waterproofs matter even in summer.

Why visit: The Cumbrian lakes and Scottish lochs — glacial water under fells, with launches and shoreline paths on most of them.

Things to do

›Take the passenger launch across rather than driving round
›Walk a shoreline section on foot
›Hire a rowing boat or kayak for an hour
›Go early — the reflections are best before the wind picks up
