Windermere Travel Blogs

I woke to a beautiful clear morning in Manchester, I had a quick shower and double checked my kit before I picked up my pack and headed for the bus stop into Manchester city centre.  I was planning on having a full breakfast in the Weatherspoons located close to Piccadilly Station, and thi…

It’s been a long time since I was last in Windermere - probably about twenty years - and I hadn’t realised how busy the place is. It’s absolutely heaving with tourists and the town seems constantly full of cars, nose to tail, edging their way through the narrow streets carrying thei…

On the sixth of July of last year I went to Windermere, a gorgeous town in the Northern England. I was to be a student helper at a summer school for kids from all around the world. I once was a student at that very school...learning English and making friends from literarily all corners of Earth. T…

After another night out on the town in Manchester and only 3 hours sleep, I caught a train to The Lakes District, England.  Mental note to self - don't drink too much if travelling the next day.  Had to have a nap when I arrived.. oops! Lake Windermere is the largest …

If You, as well prefer the nature than shady England. I strongly suggest a trip to Windermere. The lake is as amazing as it's worth spending a weekend there. As I did, renting a boat is the one of the tourist attractions. I'd not got the change to discover unspoilt nature, but I'm sure it…

This was the first day I was truly to be on my own, and not a brief train or bus ride from Caroline. It was also a time I was very much looking forward to, even if I was a bit nervous. I'm not sure why I was nervous, to be honest -- it's not like British culture is so horribly different from my ow…

There are many lakes at lake district, I think i should spend more time there if I got chance to visit again.  The calmness, tranquillity of some lakes can be experienced more.  Last time was UK's students' mid-term break, so too crowded at lake district area.    

A road trip around the United Kingdom and travelling throughout Europe!

Full of porridge and with my pack feeling considerably lighter than when I had started, I descended towards Windermere, following little paths, crossing stiles and passing through fields filled with sheep and cows.  I was back at the train station before 10.30am, in fact it was still close…

We've done it! We're married! We celebrated our first night as a married couple with champagne on the terrace on the roof of the boat house!  We both had a fantastic day. It went very quickly, but we enjoyed every minute! We hope that you enjoyed the day as much as we did. We were so …

Well, seeing as Higton is getting all huffy I thought I'd take a trip down memory lane (bleurgh!) and share some adventures wiv ya.

After being fed and watered for breakfast - a quick photoshoot - we are getting expert at packing and loading up the car! We are heading for the Windermere area with thoughts of staying around there for the night. Stopped for morning tea at a quaint little village and arrived at Windermere around…
