Situated on the
Eastern shore of Lake Windermere and adjacent to the
250 acre Great Tower Scout Camp Site Estate, the
centre is ideally located for all types of water
activities and, of course, fell walking / climbing
in the Lakeland area. Available all year round.
National grid ref.: 97 391927.
The
68 metre water frontage has two jetties and a boat
house/wet dock which houses the safety craft and
control room. A large fleet of sailing dinghies and
canoes available for hire to those with suitable
qualifications. Although groups staying in Waterside
Wood Chalet are given first priority to hire our
craft during their stay, there are still normally
craft available for non-resident groups.
At weekends from Easter and until the end of October
and during the main season, the centre and it's
safety boats are under the control of a voluntary
warden who is resident in the centre.
Day visitors are encouraged by
prior arrangement, facilities available include
changing rooms, toilets and hot showers. Parking is
limited.
Parking
Due to limited vehicle parking
at the centre, residents at Waterside Wood are
allocated sufficient spaces for their group and the
remainder are allotted to visiting groups and centre
staff. Parking discs are only available from Great
Tower reception to where all users should report on
arrival.
