Named for the largest lake in the area, this Cumbrian town is the perfect base for exploring England's breathtaking Lake District.

Bowness-on-Windermere is a town in South Lakeland, Cumbria, England. Due to its position on the banks of Windermere, the town has become a tourist honeypot. Although their mutual growth has caused them to become one large settlement, the town is distinct from the town of Windermere as the two still have distinguishable town centres. Historically part of Westmorland, in 2012, Bowness was one of the official stop off points for the Olympic torch before it made its way to the Olympic Games opening ceremony

The route planning facility was a pleasure. Your prices were very competitive and made staying in some very nice hotels possible. I double checked every hotel's rate and we saved a fortune booking through you. Your website style makes planning fun, just the way it should be. I have already recommended your site to everybody and we will definitely be using it in the future. I am already getting excited about using it to plan our next trip.

We had a fantastic trip and RoutePerfect was an ENORMOUS help in our planning process! The planning was a breeze through RoutePerfect, even when we had to make a few hotel changes, it was all handled VERY smoothly. I could not be more pleased. We will definitely use RoutePerfect.com again when planning our next big trip! Thanks again, I love your site and recommend it unreservedly.
