Lakeside Webcam

Real-Time Views From Windermere

We have 3 Webcams on Windermere at Ambleside (Waterhead) Pier, our Head Office near Bowness Pier and at Lakeside Pier.

👁️Things to look for on this camera

This webcam is based at Lakeside Pier at the southern tip of Windermere and automatically switches between 4 views:

  • 🎞️ View 1 - Facing north towards Bowness and further up Windermere. Watch out for the Yellow Cruise arriving and departing for Bowness. Look out for some of our little red and white hire boats leaving Lakeside (NEW for 2025).
  • 🎞️ View 2 - Facing north-east over Windermere. Look out for the stunning Gummer's Howe (321m high) on the other side of the water.
  • 🎞️ View 3 -Facing south-east over Windermere and the National Trust Fell Foot. Watch the many private craft moored up and our little Fell Foot Ferry in the summer months.
  • 🎞️ View 4 - Lakeside Pier/Platform for the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway. Watch out for steam train arriving/departing during the summer months.

No video?

Are you having difficulty in viewing the video? We've had to change the way our web-cams work and some people on Android phones/tablets can no longer see the video. We recommend installing Firefox web browser for android to fix this problem. Full details of why we have had to change our web-cam system.
