Park highlights
Discover White Cross Bay
Located on the eastern shore of Windermere, White Cross Bay provides an ideal setting for families and couples alike. With direct access to the lake, you'll be surrounded by the serene beauty of the countryside and woodland.
Venture out to nearby towns like Bowness-on-Windermere and Ambleside, known for their historic architecture, delightful cafes, and local boutiques. Naturally, with Windermere, Coniston and Ullswater so close by, it's a great spot for watersports, but you'll find plenty of opportunities for walking, climbing, cycling and canyoning, too.
Back on park, you'll find everything you need for total relaxation with an indoor pool, plenty of activities for all ages, a yummy menu courtesy of our onsite restaurant, and a beer garden.
