Location within the British Isles.

Windermere is a town in Cumbria, England, lying about one kilometre away from the lake of the same name. Although Windermere confusingly does not touch the lake, it has now grown together with Bowness-on-Windermere, the older, lakeside area of town (for other towns with the same or similar names, see Bowness). The town possesses the ancient parish church of St Martin (http://www.stmartin.org.uk/) built in 1483 but of an older foundation, the former rectory is said to have been built in 1415. There are museums, but the main draw for its many tourists is the lake. Boats from the piers in Bowness (about a fifteen-minute walk from the top of Windermere town) sail around the lake, many calling at Ambleside or at Lakeside where there is a restored railway.
