Mountain Goat[1] is a bus operator and travel company based in Windermere in the Lake District, England.
History[edit]
Mountain Goat was established in 1972 operating minibus tours to the more remote parts of the Lake District.[2] In 2014, the company won a tender to develop the main tourist centre in Windermere from South Lakeland District Council, spending £150,000 on redevelopment.[3] The company supports the use of the local workforce to run the centre in order to make visitors more welcome.[4]
Services[edit]
The company runs a service for foot passengers crossing the lake from Bowness-on-Windermere to Hill Top.[5] This is route number 525, and runs between Ferry House and Hawkshead. You can also take the 525 from Hawkshead, where it does a round loop via Wray Castle.
