The Windermere Pig

The Windermere Pig is a quirky and unique landmark located in the town of Bowness-on-Windermere in the Lake District. The statue, which is a life-size bronze sculpture of a pig dressed in a coat and hat, was created by the artist Geoffrey Dashwood in 1998 and has since become a beloved local icon. Visitors can find the statue on the promenade in Bowness, where it has become a popular photo spot and meeting point. While its origins are somewhat mysterious, the Windermere Pig has become an important part of the town’s cultural heritage, and it is often featured in local artwork and promotional materials. Whether you are a local resident or a visitor to the area, the Windermere Pig is a must-see attraction that captures the unique and quirky spirit of the Lake District.
