&#8216;green&#8217; route boat trip on Windermere.\u00a0 This takes about 45 minutes going from Ambleside to Wray Castle, Brockholes and then back to Ambleside.\u00a0 \u00a0The boat was the Princess of the Lake, sister to the Queen of the Lake and is an attractive old wooden motor boat.<\/p>\n<p>The boat was packed to Wray but many got off there presumably to walk to the Castle or walk along the lake to the Ferry across to Bowness.\u00a0 \u00a0 Just before departing, at 10.55, the much larger Teal left Ambleside for Bowness and Lakeside,\u00a0 and on the return we were side by side with Tern, the 1891 boat, so beautiful, very nice styling.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a bit of announcing during the cruise mainly about buildings and a wedding at the Langdale Chase Hotel.\u00a0 I was most conscious of the scenery being fond of the Fairfield Horseshoe north of Ambleside and the Langdales to the west.\u00a0 On this day the Langdales were looking superb but no-one else seemed to notice.<\/p>\n<p>Ambleside Small Boat Jetty:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.madeinpreston.co.uk\/b\/2018\/06\/boat-trip-on-windermere\/ambleside12618a\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1035\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
