A grassy park and gentle foreshore at the very head of Windermere, beside the Waterhead pier and the Roman fort site at Galava, with easy, shallow access to the water. It is the most convenient spot for a paddle near Ambleside, with lawns for a picnic and the lake cruises coming and going.
📅 Open year-round; no seasonal dog ban, but water quality and algae vary with the weather
Normas: Keep dogs on a lead near the busy pier, the road and other visitors; clean up after your dog. Check the water for blue-green algae before letting a dog swim.
