The Lake District A Place of Beauty
The Lakes in Cumbria formed when they were gouged out of the mountains of Cumbria North West England as the glaciers retreated at the end of the last ice age over 13,000 years ago. And the largest, Lake Windermere, at 10.5 miles long, a mile wide and 220 feet deep is the largest natural lake in England.
Lake Windermere, Lake District, Cumbria, England
A place of beauty
One of the main tourist spot on the lakeside from where leisure cruise trips can be made is Bowness-on-Windermere; a beauty spot in itself with a swarm of friendly swans happy to be hand fed.
One of the cruise boats that regularly docks at Bowness-on-Windermere and other villages on the lakeside, from where they give trips around the lake being the 'Queen of the Lake'.

Pleasure cruises around the lake
Bowness-on-Windermere is two towns, Bowness and Windermere (each with its own town centre that have grown and merged together to become one large settlement.
