A leisurely boat ride on Windermere offered a serene escape from the bustling crowds of the Lake District. Cruising at a gentle two miles per hour in an eco-friendly electric boat, we enjoyed the tranquility of the water while surrounded by nature’s beauty.
The quietness of the electric boat, coupled with the 10mph speed limit, allowed us to peacefully navigate the lake without the disturbance of water sports enthusiasts. Despite the occasional appearance of large pleasure cruises, our journey remained tranquil and undisturbed.
Choosing to embrace the elements, we rolled back the soft top of the boat and continued our leisurely exploration. Avoiding the tourist hubbub in Windermere, we found solace on the water, away from the bustling town.
Our adventure began at Windermere Lake Cruises’ Bowness Dock, where we rented a self-drive electric boat. During our hour-long excursion, we marveled at the natural wonders surrounding us, including Belle Isle, lush woodlands, majestic fells, and picturesque viewpoints like Queen Adelaide’s Hill.
The idyllic setting of Windermere provided a peaceful backdrop for our journey, offering a moment of tranquility away from the tourist hotspots. After returning the boat, we explored the lush Elleray Wood and hiked up to Orrest Head for breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding landscapes.
For a dose of adrenaline, we ventured to Zip World Windermere, known for its high-octane adventures. Watching our son and his friend tackle the treetop adventure course, which included thrilling obstacles like zip lines and wobbly bridges, was both exhilarating and entertaining.
Our accommodation at Landal Twin Lakes near Carnforth offered a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. The well-appointed lodge, complete with three bedrooms, provided a comfortable and luxurious stay. The open-plan living area with floor-to-ceiling windows offered stunning views of the lagoons, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
Exploring the nearby areas, we enjoyed hikes, seaside visits, and family-friendly activities at Greenlands Farm Village. The serene setting of Landal Twin Lakes, devoid of bustling amenities, allowed us to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.
