Great North Swim Special - Ambleside Shuttle

As our busiest pier, Bowness offers the widest variety of cruises on the lake.

Located at postcode LA23 3HQ, it's a 2-minute walk from Bowness village and the closest pier to Windermere Village (10 minutes by bus/car or a 25-minute walk).

While we don't have our own parking, there are over 400 pay-and-display spaces within walking distance. You'll also find easy access to bus connections and national rail services via Windermere Railway Station.

Brockhole is more than just a pier; it's the perfect destination for family fun - lakeshore walks, adventure play areas and Zip World.

The pier's closest postcode is LA23 1LJ but is only accessible by gravel footpath at the bottom of Brockhole's gardens.

The on-site car park can get busy, but it has great bus connections with a bus top outside on the busy A591 - about a 10-minute walk from our pier on the lakeshore.
