Rock Climbing

Our accommodation is ideally located as a base for a rock-climbing trip to the Lake District. The well-known climbing areas of Langdale, Coniston (Dow Crag) and the Eastern Crags area are all on our doorstep.

Fell Walking

The Lake District is, of course, the heartland of fell walking and Quaysiders club is ideally placed to take full advantage.
Many fellwalks can be started directly from your accommodation, such as an ascent of Red Screes, or the famous Fairfield Horseshoe. Smaller fells such as Wansfell (with perhaps the best view of Lake Windermere) or Loughrigg (perfect for a short fellwalk, perhaps in the afternoon of your arrival) are even closer.

Canoeing

Quaysiders is close to many rivers and lakes which are popular with canoeists. Lake Windermere is right next to our accommodation, and there is a public launching area right across the road from our door. Windermere is popular for those using Canadian canoes as well as kayaks.

Sailing & Boating

Windermere is a mecca for dinghy sailors as well as the owners of larger sailing craft. Quaysiders offers a superb base for a boating holiday, being literally right across the road from the public slipway at Waterhead.

Golf

There are several golf courses close to our accommodation, the nearest being the course at Windermere Golf Club. This 18-hole golf course is located in a beautiful setting in the low fells South of the village of Windermere, with a backdrop of the Lakeland Fells.

Fishing

The Lake District has an extremely wide range of different styles of fishing, from game fishing of every type to coarse fishing.Game fishing in Windermere includes Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Sea Trout and Salmon.
