Fell Foot Master Plan Apr 2015

Context

Over the last year the Fell Foot Project Team has been developing a master plan for the site to establish Fell Foot as a key outdoor destination for the National Trust. The plan is to develop the site in line with its heritage and signi cance, as well as responding to what we have learnt our visitors and local community would like to see enhanced or changed.

The master plan will be delivered in phases over the next few years, with small changes starting to occur on site from this summer.

The master plan is split into a number of packages; details of each package are on further information boards:

Historic boathouses and former gas house Landscape, gardens and arboretum New caf, entrance/exit and visitor car parks New water sports building, jetties and parking Glamping area

Bene ts

Protect and restore the historic boathouses Improve the basic facilities on site such as toilets, catering and access Create more opportunities for people to get involved with water activities at all levels Enhance the landscape and arboretum Celebrate, better understand and tell the story of the heritage both historic and modern Provide indoor space for families and the community Connect Fell Foot to sustainable transport options with a new jetty for the water bus, improved bus

stop locations and links to cycle routes Deliver part of the Windermere Water Front Strategy to improve the visitor o er at the southern end of

Windermere Create more jobs with an improved business model and more sustainable nancial model for the park
