A FERRY which transports vehicles across Windermere has been forced to close this afternoon due to strong winds.
The ferry connects the B5285 between Bowness and Far Sawrey.
The closure means that drivers looking to get from one side of the lake to the other will be forced to use an alternative route.
Sorry folks but due to the high winds the ferry isn't operating at the moment. we will update as and when she is operating again.
