Description

Introduction and background to the project
This project is the first section of a proposed off-road trail from Newby Bridge to Lakeside, along the south western shore of Windermere. Once complete, the whole trail, will link to the YMCA National Centre and create a walking and cycle route along the western shore of England's largest lake.
The Southern Windermere Trail is being funded by ESIF (European Structural Investment Fund) and CLEP (Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership).
The aim of this project is to provide visitors a route that is predominately traffic free, connecting the key visitor attractions in the Southern Windermere Basin and encouraging them to use sustainable transport rather than use their car for short hop journeys between destinations. The target is to reduce carbon emissions by 26 tonnes within the first three years of project completion and to create 76 jobs in the local area.
In order to satisfy funding requirements, the entire project must be delivered by 31st March 2022.

Trail overview
The alignment corridor for the trail will be following the lakeshore where practically possible but also head away from the Lake to link key local visitor destinations. The trail will be formed of a mixture of new build sections or upgrades to existing public rights of way, private paths and tracks.
The total length of The Swan Hotel to YMCA section is 5633m. It is divided into five sub sections - set out in the table below.

Section Name Length (m)
2 The Swan Hotel to Lakeside (Station) 1475
3 Lakeside (West of Village) 555
4 Lakeside to Finsthwaite / Bobbin Mill 1444
5 High Dam (Finsthwaite) to High Stott Park 749
6 High Stott Park to YMCA Lakeside 1410
Total: 5633


This tender relates to Section 2 only.
