Bowness
Going back towards Windermere on the Patterdale Road, go straight on when you reach the mini roundabout. You will come to the bustling waterside town of Bowness.
Limefitts sister park Fallbarrow is just on the edge of Bowness.
Bowness is very much a busy town much like Ambleside it gets very busy during the high season and parking can be a challenge. There are buses that run here from the bus station in Windermere.
There are many interesting shops plus a few familiar ones.
Bowness has a comfortable cinema showing many of the latest releases. There is a car park very close to the cinema.
From Bowness, you may decide to take a lake cruise, many are available. There are several destinations available around the shores of Windermere.
Alternatively, you may decide to take a rowing boat out or a self drive motor boat. Or, enjoy an icecream sitting watching the passenger boats go in and out, being very cautious of the incredibley brave (greedy) swans!
A Poem by Grace Gant
Have you seen a Tizzie Wizzie
Down in Bowness by the shore?
They skim the water nightly
And live out on the moor
They hide in handy woodpiles
And scuttle swiftly by
And if you’ve never seen one
It’s because they’re very shy
With bodies just like hedgehogs
And wings like finest bees’
Their tails look just like squirrels’
As they float along the breeze
Visit sunny Brockhole
You might see one whiz by
Keep still, alert and quiet
As they’re very, very shy
