Windermere Lake Cruises Discount Codes 50% OFF for April 2025

The largest natural lake in England, Demeer is 10.5 miles long, 1 mile wide at its widest point and 200 feet deep in some places. Not only does it have breathtaking views, but it also has a rich and diverse history. Originally governed by public navigation rights, the lake has supported commercial traffic associated with slate and copper mining for centuries. In the early 1800s, White and Gibson of Ambleside ran a sailing parcel service. Their ships carry passengers and general cargo between Ambleside, Bowness, Hawkshead Ferry and Newby Bridge. Existing boats, docks and buildings have been refurbished and updated. Windermere Lake Cruises has played an important role in supporting the local economy through its commitment to sustainable tourism. Today, the vast majority of passengers arrive by car or coach, but their British rail connections remain, with part of the old Lakeside spur thriving as a well-preserved steam railway.
