Bowness-on-Windermere Heritage Snapshot
The name 'Bowness' is thought to have originated with the Romans, and is a combination of 'Bull' and 'Ness', or 'town where bulls are kept'. It was not until the advent of the railroad in 1847 that this area was transformed from a remote Lakeland village into a popular tourist destination.
