A new jetty has appeared on a favourite walk along the shore of Windermere. I assume the idea is that bikers can cross the lake by ferry from the visitor centre at Brockhole on the East shore, and ride through the woods without the need for lots of riding on the road. Cyclists, cars and narrow roads are not a good combination, so this seems an excellent idea.
It also happens to make a great picnic spot with views of the Fairfield Horseshoe and the Kentmere Round.
Unfortunately, by the summer, the jetty has been covered in barriers and notices saying you can't go on it unless the boat is waiting. The usual excessive health and safety nonsense. Grrr.
