    Description

    Belle Isle Round House, on Windermere?s largest island, Belle Isle, seen in this image, was built in 1774 by John Plaw to the instructions of the island owner, a Mr. English. The house is round with a portico and double staircase. It can be seen from the Bowness shore but is mostly hidden by trees.
