Fodor's Expert Review Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway Company
Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere
Family
Vintage steam trains chug along on the 18-minute, 4-mile branch line between Lakeside and Haverthwaite, giving you a great view of the lake's southern tip. You can add on a lake cruise for another perspective on the region's natural beauty. Departures from Lakeside coincide with ferry arrivals from Bowness and Ambleside. See the website for timetables. Tickets can only be purchased from the station on the day of travel.
