TOP PUBS IN BOWNESS & WINDERMERE
Both Bowness and Windermere have some great pubs where you can enjoy great craft b**r, often with a view of Lake Windermere and the fantastic scenery surrounding it.
My favourites are The Crafty Baa which is close to Windermere station for its huge range of craft b**rs from around the world and the Hole in t wall in Bowness for its incredible olde worlde charm and decent cask b**r.
Bowness itself is the main destination as there are quite a lot of pubs and bars in a relatively small area.
Lake View Garden Bar is a fantastic bar on Bowness Bay overlooking the lake and you can watch the boats coming and going.
The Angel Inn, Bowness does good food and b**r which you can enjoy on a multi level b**r garden overlooking the town.
Bowness Tap Rooms in the heart of town does good pizza and b**r.
The Royal Oak is a more traditional boozer doing a range of cask ales.
Let me know if there are any more I need to try out!
