About this property
High Rigg is a wonderful, second-floor apartment resting in Bowness-on-Windermere. Boasting off-street parking and just a short distance from Lake Windermere, it makes for an ideal base for a family of four.
After a long day of exploring, come back to your home-away-from-home and unwind by watching a film on the Smart TV. A well-equipped kitchen has all the tools you'll need to whip up a tasty, home-cooked meal for the whole family to savour around the dinner table, whilst you listen to each other's favourite parts of the day. In the evenings, relax with a glass of wine on the balcony overlooking the trees that line Lake Windermere. When sleep calls, tuck the kids in the twin room before retiring for a well-earned rest in the plush double.
When you're ready, head on-foot into the centre of Bowness-on-Windermere, which rests on the magnificent Lake Windermere. The World of Beatrix Potter, just a short walk from your lodgings; the National Trust's Wray Castle; Brockhole on Windermere; and Treetop Lake District's Treetop Trek and Treetop Nets are just a few of the many family-friendly attractions you can enjoy here.
If you're looking for something to eat or drink after a day of sightseeing, The Ship Inn and Porto Restaurant are great options in the town. You can also visit the market town of Kendal, which is a great place to shop for souvenirs.
The Kendal Museum and the Lakeland Museum are among the town's most popular tourist attractions, and no trip to Kendal would be complete without a taste of the renowned Kendal Mint Cake! Ambleside, a nearby town just north along the Lake, is well worth a visit. The Ambleside Roman Fort is a great place for history enthusiasts to visit and be sure to pop into Zeffirellis or Copper Pot to refuel and relax after a day of exploring the town.
High Rigg is the ultimate location for a family getaway to the Lake District
Visitors to the Lake District National Park are drawn to the lively twin towns of Bowness and Windermere because each one offers a variety of adjacent attractions, facilities, a movie theatre, shops, and restaurants to satisfy all tastes. At the southern end of the lake, where the Lakeside Aquarium and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway are located, Windermere Lake Cruises in Bowness offers a choice of boat cruises and boat rental to Brockhole, Ambleside, and Lakeside. The Old Laundry Theatre and the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction are separated by 1.5 kilometres. It takes 30 minutes to walk to Orrest Head to take in the breathtaking vista of far-reaching views over the lake and nearby fells, which served as the inspiration for Alfred Wainwright to create his series of renowned guidebooks. The historic villages of Grasmere, Ambleside, and Troutbeck are only a short drive away, while Brockhole, which provides high wire tree top activities, is three miles distant. For those with more energy, marine centres along the lake offer a variety of watersports. With easy access to attractions like the stunning Langdales, Beatrix Potter's Hill Top House at Far Sawrey, Coniston, Grizedale Forest Park with its delightful walks and famous outdoor sculptures, mountain biking and "Go-Ape" adventure park, Ullswater, Kendal, and Keswick, stone circles, Roman forts, and England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike, the area is perfectly situated for exploring everything this region has to offer.
