Cockshott Point

Cockshott Point is an area, owned by The National Trust, alongside the shore of Lake Wiundermere and just a short walk from Bowness Pier. The path also leads to the Windermere vehicle and passenger ferry crossing. 
Heading from Bowness, the first part of the path is in a shaded, wooded area. 
Looking south along Lake Windermere towards the ferry crossing landing point. Despite this being just a few minutes walk from Bowness Pier, the vast majority of tourists tend to miss out on this walk, yet it is so much quieter with great views, instead of the crowed 'honey-pot' of Bowness.  
Looking in the other direction and across the lake. Bowness is off to the right, around Cockshott Point. 
As mentioned, so much quieter. No tourist tat shops here, just admire the natural beauty of the area.

Gentle waves lapping onto the shore. 
It was quite windy out on the lake which were ideal conditions for sailing. 
A view looking north up the lake towards Waterhead. 
It's great to be free to walk along the shore.  Bowness marina seemed pretty full.

The path back to Bowness where the silence will soon be shattered.
