Im the summer it runs every 20 mins and is open top which can be fun on a normal wet day! I use this with my bike from Ambleside to Windermere as the A591 is not a nice road to ride on, especially up hill into Windermere with close passes. https://www.stagecoachbus.com/routes/cumbria-and-north-lancashire/599/grasmere-bowness-on-windermere/xnao599.i
There is also a Bike Boat from Brockhole to near Wray Castle May to September Sat and Sun, Monday to Friday as well July and August. https://www.windermere-lakecruises.co.uk/cruises-fares/bike-boat
My favourite route to reach my elderly Mum is to get off the train at Staverley (steep steps) and then cycle via Mislet to Troutbeck Bridge and then the cycle path to Brockhole. Ferry to Wray Castle (coffee) and then on to Skelwith (or Ambleside etc). The Bike Boat pm is mostly bringing people back from the west side of Windermere, so a 15:00 ish run often means I have a personal cruise. Very civilised!
thats good to know info thanks
