Our watersports base at Fell Foot on the southern tip of Lake Windermere is set within the National Trust’s Fell Foot park - a very special place which never fails to impress. It is quite simply the best place to experience watersports hires on Lake Windermere.

We hired a kayak for my 13 year old daughter who paddled with me while I swam, she absolutely loved it... Despite it being a little bouncy!! The next day she wanted to try a paddle board and again was buzzing after and loved it! The team were great, so helpful, very safe and enthusiastic and am so grateful for being able to give my daughter such a great experience on the water! Thanks guys.
What a fabulous experience we have just had !! It was very windy and wet, the instructors were so brilliant, encouraging and helpful, the two children who went on the kayaks had a really long fun time and two other people in our party even had a free ride on the rib!! The children haven’t stopped talking about it,and after hot showers and hot chocolates are ready to go again!!
