Boating in Cumbria

From paddling around Derwentwater in a canoe to taking a trip on the Ullswater Steamers, boating opportunities abound in the beautiful Lake District. Simply stroll down to the lakeside – Coniston Water, Windermere, the choice is yours – and book yourself a boat trip. You can either relax on a skippered cruise or take the controls yourself on a motor launch or rowing boat.
