April 9, 2025, Windermere Ferry Crossing

Not always running when you need it but when it is, the staff are friendly and always interested in your plans for the day.

Runs about every 20 minutes, quite cheap

An update to 51m's post - cyclists now pay £2.15 to cross. Those seeking a long ferry trip are advised to take one of the length-wise cruises; this width-wise ferry is basically a utilitarian (though still picturesque) crossing - takes a little under 5 minutes to complete once started.

This lovely paved lane traces the course of the River Kent from Staveley up to Browfoot Plantation. It's a long gradual climb but you'll be rewarded with some fabulous views at the top.

This is the Bowness Nab ferry terminal on the east side of Windermere. The ferry takes bikes and the crossing is around 10 minutes. For fares and times see: https://www.westmorlandandfurness.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/windermere-ferry
