St Martin's Church — Attraction in Windermere

St Martin’s Church is a beautiful and peaceful place right in the heart of Windermere. The moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by a sense of calm and timelessness. The stained-glass windows are stunning, filling the church with colour and light, and the historic details in the stonework and woodwork are full of character.

What I loved most was the atmosphere — it’s not just a building, it feels like a sanctuary. Whether you’re visiting to admire its history, take a quiet moment of reflection, or simply escape the busyness of the town, it’s the perfect place. The churchyard is also very charming, with old headstones and a peaceful setting that adds to the sense of history.

A truly lovely spot in Windermere that’s well...

Inside, the wall paintings are particularly impressive, complementing the stained glass windows and screen. There's an informative guidebook to point out the interesting features as you walk around, and friendly people on hand to answer...
