The Bowness-on-Windermere Webcam the ferry crossing at Far Sawrey to Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria's Lake Windermere transports you literally to the serenity and beauty of the Lake District.
Bowness-on-Windermere is built on hilly terrain on the shores of Windermere in South Lakeland, Cumbria, England; while it has now grown together with the town of Windermere (which, confusingly, does not actually touch the lake), the two still have distinguishable town centres.
Windermere railway station offers train and bus connections to the surrounding areas, Manchester, Manchester Airport, and the West Coast Main Line, and is about a fifteen-minute walk from the lakefront. Both Stagecoach and the local council provide frequent connecting buses from Bowness Pier; Stagecoach's open-top double-decker buses travel through the centre of town and continue to Ambleside and Grasmere, while the council's wheelchair-accessible minibuses run around the edge of town. The Windermere Ferry, a car carrying cable ferry, connects Bowness with Far Sawrey on the opposite side of the lake.
