THREE webcams around one of the Lakes Districts most iconic lakes now gives residents an alternative view of the scenery.

Windermere Lake Cruises have positioned three webcams across the lake, one at Ambleside (Waterhead) Pier, another at their Head Office near Bowness Pier and another at the Lakeside Pier.

The webcam at the Lakeside Pier at the southern tip of Windermere and the one at Ambleside Pier automatically switches between different views.The one positioned near Bowness Pier remains fixed.

Residents are able to see different views of the lakes as well as any arrivals and departures of the steamers up and down the lake.

If you wish to view the webcams you can do so at: www.windermere-lakecruises.co.uk/lakeside-webcam, selecting the webcam you would like to view.
