We live in UK’s most beautiful place but it becomes mini-Blackpool at night… druggies swarm & we’ve padlocked our bins | The Sun
A TOURIST looks up from her cream tea as a packed cruise boat docks at a jetty on the shore of Lake Windermere.
Japanese visitors carrying Peter Rabbit goodies are among the thousands of tourists and walkers crammed into the picturesque Lake District resort.
But fed up residents claim too many tourists are blighting the quaint village of Bowness-on-Windermere bringing litter, traffic and anti-social behaviour.
They have complained that soiled nappies have been left on the beach and bags of dog poo hang from trees, while drunk yobs urinate in the street.
And The Sun can reveal it’s not just tourists flocking to the village on the shore of England's biggest lake.
Manchester drug dealers have also come to serve stag and hen dos and rowdy Airbnb parties with cocaine and ecstasy.

One councillor claimed Bowness has been turned into a “mini-Blackpool”.
Late-night fights have broken out, with a drunk man in a Batman costume recently seen brawling in the street.
Parish councillor Christine Cook, 67, said: “It's like a mini-Blackpool these days with the hen and stag dos.
"They can go out on boat trips on the lake and enjoy all the pubs and live music. There is a lot to entertain them.
