Why we no longer allow BBQs
Fell Foot provides the perfect lakeshore picnic alongside Windermere. But sorry, no barbeques.
Fell Foot
Overview
Lakeshore park with stunning mountain views
Situated at the very southern tip of Lake Windermere, Fell Foot is a great, family friendly location to play, explore and relax. Sweeping lawns offer plenty of space for games, picnics and gentle walks, while easy lake access makes the park perfect for paddling, swimming and boating.
We have opened Fell Foot's brand new Active Base - a place for you to come and try water sports on the shores of Windermere. You can enjoy state of the art facilties, including underfloor heated changing rooms, hot showers, and secure lockers while you enjoy Windermere to the full. If you have any questions or want to find out more, you can contact us on 015395 31273.
Don't miss out on our programme of events, take a look at our events page for more details.

What is Gift Aid?
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
- Gift Aid Admission
- Standard Admission
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |
