COURSE HIGHLIGHTS
The route starts at Waterhead on the shores of Windermere, heading north before crossing the River Rothay. From here the route takes you south, passing Brathay and High Wray Castle, bringing you to the east lakeside of Esthwaite Water and through Near and Far Sawrey to the southern tip of Windermere. Along the way you will be treated to different views of the lake. You’ll head past Hill Top (Beatrix Potter’s farmhouse retreat - the inspiration for her books) and past the quaint village of Lakeside, amongst many others. You will then cross Newby Bridge and head back north on the east side of Lake Windermere, passing Bowness-on-Windermere and Troutbeck Bridge before reaching the finish line at the Great North Swim site at Brockhole, where you can celebrate in the vibrant event village.
