Plus we'll reveal what you'll find when you wander around town. As well as covering the main tourist attractions, such as Windermere Lake Cruises and the Beatrix Potter attraction the World of Peter Rabbit, we'll also answer the simple basic questions like is there somewhere where the kids can let off steam, is there a cinema or theatre, or are the streets just full of gift shops?
You'll also learn about local amenities, such as churches, medical services for both people and pets, plus whether there's a post office or bank.

Fantastic to hear your voice again.
Thank you. My mother, God rest her soul, used to say that I could natter for England!
Nice to have you back again and great video.
Thank you.
Wonderful to hear your voice, and great video, as always.
Thank you Kris. Hope you are keeping well.
Best guide for the lakes, watched them all.
Thank you.
great to have you back, hope you've got some walks planed :)
Thank you. I have. My old boots may be worn, but they are not ready for the bin quite yet.
Just returned from here last week. Beautiful town. Most importantly dogs are welcomed and made a fuss of in shops pubs. The magic roundabout did a lovely breakfast and coffee. The pub almost opposite does an amazing roast dinner!! Would recommend Windermere to everyone ❤
Thank you. Yes, I like the way that dogs are welcomed into most shops. The Magic Roundabout must be one of the few eateries actually on the side of a roundabout, albeit a mini one. It always seems busy when I pass by. I think the pub you mean is the Albert Hotel. I freely admit to having had some very nice evenings in there over the years!
Great to have you back, really missed your guides
Thank you.
Great to hear and see another video from you. Your content always entertains and educates as well as inspiring me and my partner to get out and about in The Lakes. We are looking forward to the next one. Thanks.
Thank you. Thankfully the weather is improving, and my new camera needs to be mastered!
Nice to have you back Eric, Hope you are keeping well. This video reminds me of past visits to the area.
Thank you. I'm plodding along nicely. The great thing about this region is the lack of change. I was looking at pictures I had taken in 1970 a few weeks ago, and everywhere was instantly recognisable to an 8 year old child who lives in the area - although he did think the cars looked funny!
Great to see you back here hope theres more to come🤞
Thank you. Yes, I've got another new camera!
Always a good day when one of your videos pops up Eric. I hope that you are well? Thank you for the interesting video although if I'm honest it's and area I try to avoid as it is so busy these days. Fortunately it's still possible to find a quiet haven on the hill (if you look hard enough!😁). Cheers.
Thank you. I haven't given up on hills, where, as you say, it is always possible to find peace and quiet. My inspiration for this video was a trip to Bowness and seeing the sight of lots of people walking around peering into their smartphones, and asking local workers (such as the boat workers) what else there is to see and do. I looked on YT and found that the local tourist authorities, the folk that are supposed to promote the area, have not, after 20 years of opportunity, placed a simple guide to any of the local towns online, or at least if they have they are well hidden. So I thought I'd have a bash at doing it myself. Was quite fun to do, although not as much fun as hill walking.
I love your videos Jonathan. From my home in the US, I am using them to plan a trip beyond the traditional London.
Thank you. I think your plan to visit beyond London is an excellent one. The Lake District is lovely, as is Yorkshire, particularly the dales. The Peak District is also very nice, with towns like Bakewell and Matlock particularly pleasant. Oxford has a rich history, as does Cambridge, and York and Chester still have their original Roman walls in place. Plus you mustn't forget the west of England - Glastonbury is quite unique, and Cheddar Gorge, although not large, is lovely. Wherever you visit, have a lovely time.
Great to see you back Eric. I’m off back up in the lakes next month. Can’t bloody wait. Great vid as always mate. Hope you are keeping well! All the best .
Thank you, yes. I'm good. Hope you enjoy your visit. Not a lot has changed but the wet winter seems to have made the scenery just a little bit greener. (or it could just be my eyes!)
My favourite guide to the lakes , it's been a while but worth the wait cheers and all the best 😃
Thank you, that is much appreciated. More to come, when the rain stops!!!
Brilliant that Eric... looking forward to another low walking one perhaps 🤔.. Take care from Ontario Canada 👍🙏
Thank you Kenny
HI Joanthan, great to see you back, hope you are all well.
Cheers
Dave
Thank you Dave. Yes, all well, but yet to find a cure for ageing!
i am happy to see you again... best wishes and a big thank you for all of your hiking tipps and videos... stay healthy!!!
Thank you. I keep plodding on.😃
Hi Eric, another great video! Even though I'm Scottish, I love the Lakes and have done many of the walks on you channel. Hope you're back among the Fells soon!
Thank you. Being Scottish is no bar to enjoying great scenery. I'm planning a bit of a mix of videos, some on the fells, and some about more 'touristy' things. I might even venture out of the Lakes. I'm told the Yorkshire Dales is very pretty.
So good to see you back xx
Thank you.
Great to see your return
Thank you Graham. Not my usual type of video, I know, but actually I thoroughly enjoyed doing it.
Very useful, thank you.👍
Thank you.
Hi Eric,
Like so many before me, nice to see you back on our screens. Hope you and your family are well and enjoying your retirement. Do you have any plans to do more of your traditional type reviews?
Cheers
Graham
Thank you Graham. Yes, although I have to admit that the reaction to this one has been better than I thought. I think it is fairly certain though that I won't be doing Striding Edge! But, as you know, there are lots of lower hills and interesting topics to cover. So, as ever, it is watch this space!
Lovely video as always and nice to see you back again. You have been missed! Windermere and Bowness is a great place. I was there a couple of months ago with my wife.
Quick question Eric. Are your excellent little walking books still available anywhere or from you? I have 2 of them ( all walks completed) but was hoping to get hold of the others. Can’t find them anywhere.
Look forward to more videos 😊
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. With regard to the walking books, I'm afraid that publication ceased in 2020. They were available at some selected hotels, and online, so won't be in any bookshops anywhere I'm afraid. Having said that, the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel bought extra copies in 2019, knowing that they were to be discontinued. They may have some stock left. Hopefully the instructions will be up to date. In the past, each re-issue had to be edited as routes changed. Simple things like stiles becoming gates, or paths renewed or re-routed, however, if you are walking and relying on the instructions to keep you safe and on the right track then what appears a small change can actually make quite a difference. I hope you have some luck. If you let me know which ones you have, I can also have a mooch around in my old office stuff to see if there are any copies gathering dust. Many thanks. Eric
@@jonathancraigguides Thank you Eric. I will try the NDG next time I’m in the Langdales.
I have Walks around Ambleside and Walks in the Langdale Valley. If you find any of the others lying around your office I would love to buy them.
Best wishes Alan
