Save time, money and hassle by using our park and sail option at our Ambleside and Lakeside Piers.

During busy periods, the roads around Windermere can get congested and car parking can be a premium. Why not leave the car behind, save money and reduce your carbon footprint by exploring Windermere by boat?

Our Ambleside Pier has 21 spaces and costs £5.00 all day (other public pay and display car parks are nearby). Our Lakeside car park has 300 spaces and costs £5.00 all day.

Many customers find parking at Lakeside extremely convenient as it is also the home to the Lakes Aquarium and a boarding point for the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Steam Railway. The Lakeside site is also convenient for the Lakeland Motor Museum and a brief ferry trip to Fell Foot woodland trail, picnic area and adventure playground. This service runs in the summer every half hour from 11am to 5pm.
