August 10, 2022,Exploring Lake District Windermere Lake & Grasmere

Windermere is the largest natural lake in Cumbria’s Lake District National Park. At the South side you find Newby Bridge with a very nice place to get lunch (Hotel Swan) at the North from Windermere you find Grasmere a very nice ancient village in the centre of the Lake District named after its adjacent lake.
