Is this the perfect Lake District walk for Old Codgers? You decide.

This short but delightful walk is suitable for boys of all ages, as well as grannies with their grandchildren, mums and maiden aunts. Families of all shapes and sizes in fact, will enjoy the wonderful mix of steam trains and scenery, with a riverside drink or lake cruise at the end, depending upon your fancy. That is what awaits all those who try this short but interesting walk along a new footpath from Newby Bridge to Lakeside at the foot of Windermere in the English Lake District.

This walk can be combined with a day trip on Windermere Lake Cruises boats from Ambleside or Bowness to Lakeside; or a trip on the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Steam Railway; - or both. With a little pre-planning a wonderful day out can be enjoyed by incorporating this delightful Lake District Walk into your itinerary.
