Actually, if you leave the Tourist Office, and walk downhill for about 20 yards, you will see a one-way system; the bit on your right with traffic coming up is High Street (the hotel in the link is just there in front of you) There is a map on this site, but you have to know what you're looking for http://www.aboutbritain.com/maps/windermere-map.asp If you can get in close enough - you need to be below the A591, (which this map calls Church STreet) to the left of the Railway station, and on next-to-maximum zoom. Look for College Road - High Street is an extension of that; the one-way bit going downhill from the station is called Victoria Street. A combination of the ground plan and the satellite photo shows it all very well. That is doubtless all as clear as mud, so good luck.

How lucky you are!!! Beautiful part of the world. We try to get there once a year so will keep your references and see what we can do next summer. Thanks for your efforts they are appreciated. It is good to share other folk's knowledge. I'm hopeless with Cumbria but could help with Derbyshire or Sheffield- each to their own but if we all help a little it may help a lot!!!
