Neighbourhood information

Lying at the northern extremity of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside is a wonderful base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. Cruises, boat rides, and watersports may be enjoyed on Lake Windermere, and the hamlet itself features various stores, restaurants, and bars that cater to visitors of all tastes. On Waterhead's lakeside, the parkland provides beautiful views down the lake and a small beach, while a stroll in the opposite direction, along Stock Ghyll through the woods, leads to the captivating Stock Ghyll Force waterfall. 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.
