Storrs is a small, largely residential lakeside settlement on the eastern shore of Windermere, within the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness in England. It sits on the edge of the Lake District and lies a short distance from Bowness-on-Windermere, making it a quiet but well‑placed spot for visitors and locals who want easy access to walking, boating and other outdoor pursuits.
The area is best known for Storrs Hall, a late‑Georgian house set in parkland overlooking the lake, and the mix of holiday accommodation, cafés and private homes that reflects a tourist‑driven local economy. Historically part of the old county of Westmorland, Storrs combines a tranquil residential feel with the seasonal bustle of the Lake District, attractive woodland and classic lakeside views.
