Surrounding Area
The Lodge is centrally located in the town of Windermere, originally called Birthwaite until the Kendel and Windermere rail company built a train station in the village and called it Windermere Station, a name which has been associated with the village and lake since.
The train station itself is a site to see as are the cottages built in 1849 for the rail executives and designed by the famous architect Augustus Pugin. One of the cottages even contains a replica of the fireplace he designed in the Palace of Westminster.
