Swimming in Lake Windermere

If you’re feeling adventurous and not worried about the cold, you might enjoy taking a dip from the jetty at the shared private beach just a short walk from The Lady of the Lake.

The water temperature today is 5.7*C, other things to watch out for are the blue green algae, which can be identified by froth on the water. We haven’t noticed any for a while, but it’s worth checking before taking the plunge as it can make you unwell if ingested.

There’s nothing more refreshing on a beautiful sunny afternoon than cooling off in the lake – there are steps off the jetty to make access easier too…..
