This ribbon lake in Northwest England, Windermere, holds the prestigious title of being the longest and largest lake in England. Its crystalline waters stretch for 11 magnificent miles, surrounded by the gentle, scenic sway of the Lake District's foothills. This makes for extraordinary low-level walks, boating escapades, and lake-side picnics. The lake is also home to eighteen islands, the largest of which being Belle Isle, a tapestry of natural beauty unfurling in its entirety for you to discover.

Windermere's historical charm traces back to the arrival of the Kendal and Windermere Railway's branch line in 1847. Since then, this serene waterside haven has remained a popular holiday destination, with its appeal reaching beyond its stunning scenery to include a rich variety of flora and fauna. Expect to encounter an array of fish and, during winter, witness the majestic sight of migrating geese. Further enhancing its allure, Windermere offers a host of water-related activities. These range from tranquil water-skiing to exhilarating powerboating, courtesy of its several boating clubs, despite the introduction of speed limits in 2000.
