SHOPPING in WINDERMERE and BOWNESS-ON-WINDERMERE

Windermere, and Bowness-on-Windermere, have a great choice of shops, cafes and restaurants for you to enjoy. Please see Eating for more on buying food and eating out.

The Lake District relies massively on money spent by visitors so if you fancy treating yourself, you'll be helping tradespeople in this beautiful area too.

​

Windermere offers a lovely town centre, ideal for a little wander and purchasing of essentials and treats. There are art galleries, charity shops, a health food shop, and many lovely gift shops. Northern Line have some lovely local themed gifts.
 

There is even more choice down the road in Bowness including clothes shops, galleries with local artists' work and a good choice of outdoor wear shops, such as Hawkshead who are most helpful with hiking boots advice.
