Fell Foot Ferry

Make the most of your visit to Lakeside Pier with a short ferry trip across Windermere to Fell Foot Park – a much-loved National Trust site nestled on the lake’s southern tip.

Enjoy stunning views as you cross the water, then spend time exploring Fell Foot’s open spaces, perfect for picnics, paddling, and play. There’s a fantastic adventure playground for children, as well as lakeshore paths and wide green spaces for all to enjoy.

While you’re there, grab a bite at the Boathouse Café, serving hot meals, light snacks, and refreshing drinks. Picnics are very welcome, but please note that BBQs are not permitted to protect the parkland.

Fell Foot is now home to a Changing Places facility, providing fully accessible changing rooms with a height-adjustable bench and hoist.

Why not turn your visit into a full day out?

• Combine it with a trip to Lakes Aquarium or the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway
• Enjoy a short riverside stroll to Newby Bridge, where you’ll find local bus links (6 & X6) to Barrow, Kendal, Ulverston, and the Lakeland Motor Museum
• Or simply relax on the grass and take in the views of Windermere
• This relaxing ferry link is a lovely way to enjoy a mini-cruise and discover more of the lake’s southern shores.
