This is my second cache hide. It has been named after my son CALLUM who is age 2 at the time of listing. I have been to the Lake District several times but thought it would be great to name a Cache after Callum in one of our favourite locations. The Cache is easily located but stealth will be required. Great views of Lake Windermere just around the corner.
At the time of first listing my BRONZE TEMPLAR GEOCOIN was placed in the cache with the mission to find its way home to South Yorkshire.
Bowness-on-Windermere is a sprawling tourist town on the shore of Windermere, about halfway along the 12 mile length of the lake between Waterhead at the North end, and Lakeside at the South end. It developed after the opening of the railway line from Oxenholme and Kendal to Windermere in 1847. Bowness was the nearest accessible point on the lake. Bowness-on-Windermere is Cumbria’s most popular destination, with the town busy for much of the year. People come to enjoy the lake for sailing and watersports, or just to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the area and the town’s delightful setting. The Victorian influence can be seen everywhere - in the late 19th century, wealthy businessmen from Lancashire built large residences overlooking the lake, and many of these have now been converted to hotels, such as the Langdale Chase Hotel, Storrs Hall Hotel, and the Belsfield Hotel. Others houses include The National Park Visitor Centre at Brockhole, between Ambleside and Bowness.
