Itinerary description
|
Route by car to visit Kendal, its bustling streets and the castle. Then we headed to Windermere. The little time and fatigue makes us very reduced the visit to the lake and nothing to the town. We will return more calmly.
Windermere is a belt-type lake, which are elongated and narrow finger-shaped. It was formed 13,000 years ago during the last great glaciation by two glaciers, one from the Troutbeck Valley and the other from Fairfield Horseshoe [citation needed]. When the glaciers melted, the lake was filled with meltwater, which was held by moraines (rocky material) deposited by the glacier.
The lake drains its southernmost point along the Leven River. [4] It is filled by the Brathay, Rothay, Trout Beck, Cunsey Beck and other minor currents. The lake is largely surrounded by hills of the Lake District, which are covered by low-level trails; to the north and northeast are the highest fells of the central lakeland (Lakeland). [4]
There is a debate about whether the strip of land between Newby Bridge and Lakeside at the southern end of the lake should be considered part of the Windermere, or a navigable stretch of the Leven River. This affects the length of the lake, which is 18.08 km long if measured from the bridge at Newby Bridge, [4] or 17 km if measured from Lakeside. [Citation needed] The lake it varies in width to a maximum of 1.49 km, and covers an area of 14.73 km². [4] With a maximum depth of 67 m and an elevation above sea level of 39 m, the lowest point of the bed from the lake is well below sea level. [4]
There are two cities on the lake, Ambleside and Bowness-on-Windermere, as the city of Windermere does not directly touch the lake. Known as Applethwaite before the arrival of the railroad, it is about fifteen minutes walk from the shore of the lake, and has now grown along with Bowness. The Windermere railway station is a hub for rail and bus connections with the surrounding areas, Manchester, Manchester Airport and the West Coast Main Line (Ambleside is not, strictly speaking, on the lake, but is connected with him by the village of Waterhead)
