We spent four days in Windermere in March and it was a lovely, relaxed visit. We pottered about a lot, ate more than I would have ever thought possible, and explored the surrounding countryside. It was our second visit to the Lake District and I almost want to say that the weather was better in Spring than in June, mainly because we expected it to be soggy and bitterly cold. We stayed in a little B&B in Bowness-on-Windermere and took long walks into the village each day.
Take a walk with me through winding streets and alongside the marina for a tiny bit of Cumbrian charm. I’ll be back soon to tell you all about what we got up to in our four days in the Lake District.
I would sit behind the glass in the tea rooms and take photos of the architecture :) Did you read up on the town's history, before going on your holiday?
ReplyDeleteWell, even though I say this was our second visit to the Lake District, it's really the second one I can remember. We lived 80 minutes away when I was growing up and apparently visited on many occasions. My dad loved history so I grew up with all his stories. Hopefully my next post will shed some light on that and the links to Beatrix Potter, Wordsworth and the wool trade
Deletean engaging post, i like the mixture of bright, cheery weather and overcast conditions. the warm lights indoor look inviting, Mandy.
ReplyDeleteThe indoor lights were very inviting Ayush! It was a very cool weekend at times
DeleteMerci pour cette belle sortie
ReplyDeleteC'est toujours très agréable de flaner...
Bonne journée à toi
Et merci d'être passée à mes côtés Claudine
DeleteI remembered going there back in 2021, it was a lovely place. I visited the Beatrix potter too. here my blog post about it. http://www.mariesconnections.com/2021/09/visiting-world-of-beatrix-potter.html
ReplyDeleteHi Marie, thank you for the link - I have always wondered whether Beatrix Potter world was worth visiting!
DeleteIt sounds like the perfect vacation. Your photos are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cherie. It was a lovely time away
DeleteYou take me to places that I am unlikely to go now, so I do thank you for sharting them with your fine photos, Mandy
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the best thing about blogging? We get to live vicariously through each others' experiences
DeleteMy kind of place, Mandy, entirely, rain or shine…but especially when it’s not to hot!
ReplyDeleteI don't think the Lake District can ever be accused of getting too hot! It's notoriously rainy all year round
DeleteIt looks so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous up there Tanja
