Windermere is an absolutely delightful historic market town, home to numerous enticing cafes, bars, restaurants and small independent shops as well as the excellent Booths supermarket. It is the spiritual heart of 'The Lakes' and is surrounded by a timeless landscape of beautiful unspoilt countryside, ancient stone-built villages and is home to some of England's finest scenery including the largest fresh water lake.
