Only 10 mins walk from the hotel. Walk down past the Glebe and sit and watch the world go by. Lovely evening view

A short walk so close to mine. A short walk from the centre of Bowness is Cockshot Point on the lake shore. It’s the perfect place for a family picnic and a paddle in the lake. This beautiful spot offers views to Belle Isle just off the shore. Belle Isle is the largest and only inhabited island on Windermere.You can also see the famous Windermere car ferry making it's way back and forth across the lake. Cockshot Point stroll from Bowness on Windermere The compact centre of Bowness on Windermere and the waterfront hides a short very pleasant walk away from the crowds. The paths are either pavement or other hard surfaces so is suitable for most mobility scooters, and pushchairs. The walk starts just down from the town centre at the water front where Windermere Cruises call in on their tours of the lake. You follow Glebe Road part way round and mostly beside the lake with views to Belle Isle just off the shore. Belle Isle is the largest and only inhabited island on Windermere. Northwards the view is to the fells of the Fairfield Horseshoe and Wansfell Pike which stand over Ambleside. You soon leave the road to head for Cockshot Point. At the far end you can watch the car ferry make its crossings back and forth to Far Sawrey. You then start heading back along hard surfaced tracks and tarmac between greenspaces and the cemetery to the water front. Starting from the water front where the jetties are, turn right down Glebe Road signed "car parks". In about 50m (55 yards) on the left-hand side of the road is the Tourist Information Centre. Follow Glebe Road for approx 300m (330 yards). Just past a car park on the left the road swings left, leave Glebe Road to continue ahead onto a slightly rough driveway signposted to Cockshot Point. Go through the metal gateway and onto the gravelled path. The Point is actually to the right across the grass - if you are amble. Continue ahead for the view southwards down Windermere, then follow the path to swing left above the shore line. Reaching the T junction, turn left between railings. There is a slight gradient here as it climbs to the road. Cross the road and keep ahead with greenspace on your left and the cemetery to your right. This brings you out again at the entrance of Glebe Road beside the Tourist Information Centre. Cross Glebe Road back to the water front.

Lovely for a walk and a day time picnic, or an after dinner walk. Very scenic views across Windermere and the surrounding fells.
