Discover White Cross Bay

White Cross Bay is the ideal relaxing base for exploring the Lakes. Expect:

  • A prime location – ideal for Wainwright bagging. Right on Lake Windermere and there’s a marina for boat moorings. 
  • For days on park, there’s an indoor pool, sauna and steam room. We also run a limited schedule of activities during the school holidays.

  • For a Christmas escape, embrace the unique festive magic.

Things to do nearby

You’re right in the thick of Wainwright bagging territory. That’s right, get out on the fells early doors with your four-legged pal and round the hike off with a well-earned brew in nearby Ambleside or Bowness-on-Windermere. There’s plenty of cafes, restaurants and cosy pubs to take your pick from. And if the little ones don’t fancy a hike – a trip to The World of Beatrix Potter is sure to be a hit.
