More about this scene
The YMCA outdoor activities centre on the western shore of Windermere a little distance north of Lakeside occupies 240 acres, with a lake frontage of half a mile.

In April 2008 I went on holiday to the Lakes with my wife, Elizabeth, and we enjoyed a day's outing here. We first took a steam train from Haverthwaite through Newby Bridge to Lakeside where the steamer quay looks not much different from the view shown in this photo. Then we boarded a steamer which took us up the lake as far as Windermere. We disembarked for a couple of hours looking round the town ...see more
