Lake Windermere, often referred to simply as Windermere, is the largest natural lake in England, located in the Lake District National Park in Cumbria. Stretching approximately 10.5 miles (17 kilometers) in length and up to 1 mile (1.5 kilometers) in width, Windermere is a ribbon lake formed in a glacial trough after the last Ice Age. The lake's maximum depth reaches around 219 feet (66 meters), making it a significant feature in the region's topography and a focal point for tourism and recreation.

Windermere has been a popular destination for visitors since the arrival of the railway in the mid-19th century, which made the area more accessible to the burgeoning middle class of the Victorian era. The lake is surrounded by picturesque towns and villages, including Bowness-on-Windermere, Ambleside, and Lakeside, each offering a variety of attractions, accommodations, and activities. The lake itself is dotted with several islands, the largest being Belle Isle, which adds to the scenic beauty and charm of the area.

The Lakeside Railway, also known as the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, is a heritage railway that runs from Haverthwaite to Lakeside at the southern end of Windermere. This railway line originally opened in 1869 and played a crucial role in the development of tourism in the Lake District. The line was closed to passenger traffic in 1965 but was later reopened as a heritage railway, offering visitors a nostalgic journey through the picturesque Leven Valley. The railway connects with the Windermere Lake Cruises at Lakeside, providing a seamless link between rail and water transport, and allowing tourists to explore the lake and its surroundings in a leisurely and scenic manner.

The English Lake District, 1853 by James Baker Pyne, is an important work that captures the essence of the Lake District during the mid-19th century.

His work includes detailed depictions of Lake Windermere and the surrounding areas, offering insights into the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the region. Pyne's artistic contributions have helped to cement the Lake District's reputation as one of England's most cherished natural landscapes.
