Windermere, Cumbria
Windermere is a town and civil parish in the South Lakeland District of Cumbria, England. It has a population of 8,245.[1] It lies about half a mile (1 km) away from the lake, Windermere. Although the town Windermere does not touch the lake, it has now grown together with the older lakeside town of Bowness-on-Windermere, though the two retain distinguishable town centres. There are a number of museums, but the main attraction for the tourists is the lake itself that touches Bowness at the bottom of the hill (about a twenty minute walk from the top of Windermere town). Here there is a beautiful view of the mountains. Boats from the piers in Bowness sail around the lake, many calling at Ambleside or at Lakeside where there is a restored railway.
Belle Isle (Windermere)
Belle Isle is the largest of 18 islands on the lake Windermere in the English Lake District and the only one ever to have been inhabited.[citation needed] It is 1 km in length. Belle Isle House was built in 1774 to designs by John Plaw. It is unusual in that it is circular in plan, built of brick, three floors high with a four column portico.[1][2]
Windermere
