Town: Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
Located in Ambleside, this apartment is on a river. Armitt Museum and Gallery and Wordsworth Museum are cultural highlights, and some of the area's attractions include Grasmere Showground and Cocoa Hearts. Looking to enjoy an event or a game while in town? See what's happening at Ambleside Climbing Wall or Keswick Climbing Wall. Be sure not to miss outdoor adventures like hiking/biking trails, rock climbing, and cycling.
