There’s no more authentic way of getting around the Lake District than aboard a boat. If you are thinking of taking to the waters of Windermere, Ullswater, Coniston and Derwentwater, all four lakes have watersport centres where you can hire your own boat – whether a row boat, a sail boat or even an electric one.
