Very convenient as its close to the railway station and bus terminus with plenty of free parking, a restaurant and dedicated children's area. It's very popular and really busy in the months leading up to Christmas.

Get there early! Chesters is in a fabulous location at Skelwith Bridge. You can have a coffee and delicious cake, breakfast or lunch and take away area. Shop for hard to resist personal and household items; great cards and books. Very popular to begin or end a delightful 'flat' walk to Eltermere and back. Very popular and busy at lunchtime. Closed in the evening. Free parking with overspill around the back. Dogs allowed. Extra outside tables.

Probably the most important reason why many overseas visitors come to Bowness. The attraction brings to life the wonderful creatures brought to life by Beatrix Potter.

Full day trips by car, some possible by bus

Ambleside Rydal Grasmere Keswick Kirstone Pass and Ullswater Coniston
Carefull sightseeing! Basically a big hole in the ground! The entire area is interesting. If you walk back towards Little Langdale and turn right at Slater's Bridge you will find a fantastic cave.

Go Back in time to imagine how Beatrix lived when writing her wonderful books. The trip by car ferry and then onto Hawkeshead for tea is a lovely experience - not mention the scenery!

The best farm shop around. The best Welsh Rarebit for lunch while watching the cows being milked. Farm trail walks and animals to see - a working farm. On the A591 going south - pick up a picnic..

Apparently the highest zipline in UK, but can't confirm. I'm told you can see Scotland from the top! I can recommend the drive: A591 to the junction with the A66 then B5292
