Windermere sits within Cumbria, where England's largest natural lake gives the town its name and its long history as a Victorian-era holiday retreat for lake-bound travellers. Mornings here call for a slow start over coffee and pastries at one of the local cafes, while evenings suit a proper sit-down meal at one of the area's restaurants. Between the water, the fells, and the food, it rewards a wander without much of a plan.
