  • A six hour walking tour of Bowness on Windermere in the glorious Lake District, condensed down to 6 minutes. We check out the lakeside, see the boats, look around some of the independent shops and check out the cafes and other places to eat. We also check out those that also have Gluten Free options and come across two gems, especially if you have a sweet tooth and enjoy fish n chips.

    Hi Alan,
    We love days like this in the lakes. Sometimes it is lovely to slow up, come down from the hills and enjoy having a mooch around windermere, and of course sampling some of the naughty but nice food on offer! Those waffles looked amazing! 😋🧇🥞🍫. Thanks for taking us along with you👍

    This is a lovely and peaceful town. I like how the city is simple and kind of relaxed. The first thing that came into my focus was the food. The food really looks great and it would be great to taste their specialties. I can already see that I would enjoy a beer while Sretana would shop around the stores. Nice walking tour and have a nice day. Sretana and Zac. 😎😄👍

    Hi Alan, thank you for a fun stroll around beautiful Windemere ❤The town is so quaint and picturesque and it was lovely to see so many gorgeous floral displays. The food looked amazing! It was nice seeing a choice of gluten-free options. A friend of mine is celiac and we mostly take a picnic when out and about together. She often finds it difficult to find a truly gluten-free option in cafes and restaurants. Lots of fun and quirky items for sale in the shops. A very enjoyable video. Best wishes to you and Mrs M ❤❤

    • @AlanMETALMAN
      @AlanMETALMAN  27 дней назад +1

      Yes, Mrs Metalman is celiac too, so always difficult to find places to eat for her, which is why I took het to the waffle place. They offer a lot of gluten free stuff but she took one look and said 'that will be far too fattening' - I on the other hand had not problem with that at all and can confirm they were delicious! First time we had been in Windermere for at least 15 years, so it was so nice to get back and we both just enjoyed a day walking around all the shops and cafes there. Thanks so much for stopping by, cheers Alan

    Such a gorgeous place Alan and nice that you were about to get a bus here. Seems like a lot to do and you showed us a lot in about 6 mins. Nice things to buy in the shops and a lovely view of the lake. Would be so nice to take a boat there. That church was really lovely with beautiful windows. Loved the B Potter shop and the Chocco bar looked great with the waffles 😃 The cobbled streets looked so pretty, nice to sit down and have the gluten free fish and chips there ! Very nice condensed tour 👍~ Anna

    Hi Alan
    The lake District is somewhere we've not really explored.
    Windermere looks beautiful even with those grey clouds.
    Love to visit a church when we're away.
    Great to see lots of places with a good gluten free selection
    Those fish and chips looked delicious
    It also looked dog friendly too.
    Hope you and Mrs M are both well 😊

    • @AlanMETALMAN
      @AlanMETALMAN  25 дней назад +1

      Everywhere in the Lakes District is dog friendly, except a Premier Inn and we always enjoy a good walk around Windermere. It is the most commercial place in the Lake District and always busy (this was mid week), plenty to see and do and a lot of places to eat and drink. Mrs Metalman enjoys the shops and I enjoy the food and drink lol.

    OMGoodness, do you know I collect rubber ducks??? 4:08 I put it on my kayak for a charm.
    It seems there are lovely small businesses making profit in the town. well done
    I think your film will energize economy by bringing more visitors

As it was the Monday after the schools went back we thought it would be dead quiet but not a chance, really busy, so the church was a welcome relief away for the crowds.

    I remember Bowness being very busy with coaches of pensioners. 😂 Still a lovely part of the world. I was going to say you're going to have to put your steps in to burn off that waffle, although I think Mrs M visited enough shops to do the job. Certainly I'm not sure I'd manage the fish and chips later though.
    If you got 6 hours in Bowness on a coach trip you did well, that's a decent day out. Nice tour Alan.

    I think Andrea and I could have helped you with this one as we've been in every shop you showed, and eaten in most of the places you showed or visited. But, I don't think we've been in the church. Been in many in the Lakes but not that one. Good to see the number of eating places catering for gluten free, and those woffles looked the business. Al! This research is very tempting!! Regards, Ashley

    You do so much travelling by car it must have seemed a dream to let somebody else take the wheel so you could have a rest & take in the scenery. Great stroll around Windermere with such a choice of shops so something for everyone , but please no Christmas shopping just yet !! All those gluten free options looked delicious so hopefully a condition that cafes/restaurants are more aware of these days and can provide a greater choice. Wow that waffle !!! 😋😍🤣

      It was bliss traveling over the Moors and been able to really enjoy the scenery, I even dozed off on the way back but that may have been a couple of pints fault, another bonus lol I can conform those waffles were amazing.. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

    I must have been to the lake district hundreds and hundreds of times but never visited Windermere or Bowness...i suppose i should have a look sometime.

      Been a while for us and it is the most commercial part of the lakes but if you have never been, it is worth a visit, even if it only for Belgium Waffles, which were amazing. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

      Mrs Metalman loved that shop, I just tagged along to be honest but there was plenty to see in there to be fair. Those waffles were amazing, so that will be a regular stop off now every time we go back to Windermere from now on. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

    Well, I may or may not have had to come home with one of those lamps...but I would certainly do without any of them ducks! LOL Wow, gluten-free fish!! Amazing!! Speaking of ducks, our municipalities actually passed a law a number of years back now to make it illegal to feed them...not sure if it is still on the books, but I sure do remember the row, or arguments, that set off for sure! Lot of Canadians hanging about there! lol Take good care and have a wonderful week.

    • @AlanMETALMAN
      @AlanMETALMAN  27 дней назад +1

      They must be the most well fed ducks an swans in the country as all the hops were selling duck food, which they were hovering up lol. A lot of fish shops are now doing gluten free fish n chips and Mrs Metalman ate every scrap, so much have been bang on point. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

    Windermere is a lovely spot, looked quiet when you went mind was it a weekday? Always been very busy when I’ve gone. Waffle looked delicious 🤤 and that was a very festive shop. Lots of nice shops to look at, I’d end up spending a wee bit for sure 😂

Lovely to hear your iconic voice again and follow you on your adventures, especially now that without access to a car I don't get out of here much. Once in a while busking in Oxford, that's all, or a stroll to town.
