Located right on the lakefront, Windermere Jetty Museum is a beautifully designed, interactive space that brings the heritage of the lake to life. Explore a fascinating collection of historic steam boats, sailing vessels and motorboats — some dating back to the early 1900s — and learn about Windermere’s maritime past through hands-on exhibits, restored workshops, and real working boats.
There’s also a great café with panoramic views across the lake — ideal for a relaxed stop after the galleries.
