It is possible to cross Windermere by car ferry at Bowmess on Windermere, just a few minutes trip will save over an hour journey by road. Windermere attracts by far the greatest visitor numbers partly due to the diverse range of towns and villages adjacent to it's shores. The most popular and easy of which to reach is Bowness on Wimdermere.
Buttermere
This stunning area is on the Western reaches of the Lake District National Park. The valley is approached from Borrowdale over the Honister Pass, an exciting drive passing by the Honister slate quarries and down the steep pass, or from Keswick via the Whinlatter pass.
The name Buttermere means "the lake by the dairy pastures". Buttermere village lies on the flat, fertile land between two lakes, Buttermere and Crummock Water which were originally one post-glacial lake and the land was created by the debris washed down from the surrounding hills.
