Much of the town centre is pedestrianised with narrow lanes and yards branching from the main street. The unique History Trail, a walking route around the town centre with information plaques along the way delves into the town's story. Into the National Park and for many, where the Lakes begin proper begin - Windermere. At ten and a half miles long, a mile wide in parts and a shade over 200ft deep, the lake itself - Windermere, incidentally, never 'Lake' Windermere - is the heavyweight of Lake District waters.
