Windermere and Ambleside nautical chart print

Windermere as a sea loch full of islands

At 205 metres the sea floods up Windermere and into the valleys round it, turning the Lakes into a West Highland coast. The deepest water is Latterbarrow Pit, Claife Heights and Black Fell stand out as islands, and the villages become harbours: Ambleside Haven, Grasmere Haven, Coniston Haven.

It suits sailors on Windermere, fell walkers, and families who go back to the same Lakeland village every year.
