Combine your visit to Lakeside Pier with a trip to Fell Foot Park, a popular National Trust lakeside park with a picnic area and children’s adventure playground.
If you're visiting Fell Foot, use this service for a mini-cruise of Windermere or to visit Lakes Aquarium and Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway. Alternatively walk along the River Leven to Newby Bridge (a NEW path opened in 2023).
Newby Bridge village has regular bus services (6 & X6) to Barrow, Kendal, Ulverston and the Lakeland Motor Museum.
Enjoy a lakeshore walk or paddle and explore the grounds at the southernmost tip of Lake Windermere.
Fell Foot's Boathouse Café serves a range of hot and cold meals, snacks and drinks, picnics are very welcome in the park. BBQs are not allowed due to potential damage they may cause to the parkland.
