Waterhead

Waterhead is situated at the north end of Lake Windermere, about a mile from the town of Ambleside. 
Passenger launch that links various points on the Lake.
General view of the area. 
This novel and unusual form of transport - a converted electric milk float - carries passengers to and from Waterhead to Ambleside, although there is also a regular conventional bus service as well.  
Although it is called Ambleside Pier as far as the cruise ships are concerned, the nearby bus stop still uses Waterhead Pier as its name! Ambleside being at least one mile away.
