Windermere Lake Cruises

The only trouble with Windermere is, that it can be cold and windy on the open water. When I went with my sister and two nieces, we got a 24 hour family ticket (2 adults and up to 3 children 5 – 15) which will cost £31.50 this year. It meant that we could leave the car at Lakeside, and take the boat the length of the lake to Ambleside. Later on the same ticket we went down to Brockhole, where the children wore themselves out on the adventure playground, and we picniced, then headed back to Lakeside. An adult ticket for the day would cost £11.60 and a child £5.80. If, as I mentioned earlier, it is cold and windy you can sit downstairs, and enjoy the views just as well. When it’s sunny there’s competition for the best seats on deck. The commentary, on each cruise is usually interesting. There are small coffee outlets downstairs on each boat.
