Drinks & Nightlife
Several night clubs, pubs and restaurants. Busy at weekends especially in the Summer.
'Old Bowness' is a warren of quaint lanes, nooks and crannies dating from the Middle Ages yet only a few yards from the bustling heart of the town with its huge variety of shops, boats, 15thC church and attractions.
During the 19th century, Bowness grew from a small fishing village to a town living almost entirely off tourism and holiday homes. It was the centre of the boat-building industry that provided the sailing yachts, rowing boats and steam launches used on the lake. The arrival of the railway in 1847 in Windermere (the residents of Bowness had opposed a station in their own town) provided much of the momentum for the growth. Readers of Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons series of books will recognise Bowness as the lakeside town of 'Rio'. Bowness-on-Windermere is also home to the Beatrix Potter attraction.
