Boat Hire and Kayaking at Brockhole on Windermere
About
Boat Hire
Explore Windermere by boat – hire rowing boats, motor boats, Canadian canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards for all the family from Brockhole lakeshore.
Kayaking at Brockhole
The Lakes are absolutely beautiful at this time of year, in particular, the northern shore of Windermere. The views of Wansfell, Loughrigg, Claife heights and Scandale horseshoe are always amazing, but you have not seen them in their full glory until you have seen them from the water in a kayak. No crowds of tourists, no sound of motors, just you, your paddle and that view! If any experience at Brockhole can lift the spirits and get the heart pumping at the same time – this is the one!
