Lakeside, Windermere

The village is the terminus for the Windermere steamers and the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway . Originally a branch line of the Furness Railway, it carried passengers and freight from Lakeside to the towns of Ulverston and Barrow. The railway was closed by British Rail in the 1960's. The 3.5 miles from Haverthwaite, through Newby Bridge to the terminus at Lakeside is now the only surviving part of the line.
