This is no more than a half-day walk, but the probability is that you, like most Dales Way walkers, will find plenty to occupy yourselves for the remainder of the day in Bowness and its environs. After a possibly late lunch (no need to carry a picnic), you can take to the water and go for a cruise on lake Windermere, or visit the Beatrix Potter Centre in the town. For the evening there is an abundance of restaurants where you can celebrate your completion of the Dales Way walk.
