For Bowness, Claife, Hilltop and Hawkshead
There will not be a Mountain Goat service between Bowness, Hilltop and Hawkshead in 2023. However, you can catch a stagecoach 505 bus to Hawkshead and walk along the mainly off road trail to Hilltop (3km/1.9miles), or catch the Windermere Ferry from Bowness (Ferry Nab) to Ferry House and walk to Hilltop (2.5km/1.6miles). Or why not hire a bike to explore the area?
