After leaving Blackpool we headed on the Motorway up to the Lakes District. We left Bristol with fine weather on the Saturday, but the closer we got to the Lakes, the darker the clouds got!
The first town we stopped in at was Windermere which is fronted by the Windermere Lake. This is the most popular tourist town within the Lakes, mainly as it is the closest lake you can get to.

Right next door is the appropriately named town of Bowness, my presence ensured there was at least one Bown there for the day!
Whilst we were in Bowness, we saw the Beatrix Potter experience, which focuses on Beatrix Potter’s stories for children.

This is the famous statue containing characters and objects from all 23 her tales. It was unveiled as part of the movie ‘Miss Potter’ in April 2006.

Its all in the name!
From this point on, the heavens opened, and the rain did not look like subsiding…. Typical English weather right on cue! Hence we decided to head back towards Bristol via Manchester to have a relaxing Monday public holiday.
