Ambleside is renowned for its stunning surroundings. The town is situated at the northern tip of the shimmering Lake Windermere, which provides a tranquil backdrop for lakeside strolls, boat rides, and water sports. Nearby fells and peaks, including the iconic Wansfell Pike and Loughrigg Fell, beckon hikers and climbers with their panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Visitors can explore the pristine landscapes through a variety of outdoor activities, such as hiking, cycling, and water sports. The nearby fells, including the iconic Fairfield Horseshoe, offer an array of scenic walking trails with awe-inspiring views. The town centre is a delightful blend of charming streets and lanes filled with boutique shops, art galleries, and cafes. You can enjoy shopping for unique souvenirs or savouring delicious local cuisine in one of the many restaurants and pubs.

Lake Windermere provides opportunities for water based fun. You can take leisurely boat rides from Waterhead to Windermere and Lakeside, hire a kayak, or even try your hand at paddleboarding, allowing you to appreciate the serene beauty of the lake from a different perspective. Fishing and swimming are also popular pastimes for those seeking relaxation by the water. Ambleside is located midway between Windermere and Grasmere, an ideal base from which to explore these popular Lakeland villages. For those without their own transport, jump aboard one of the many busses passing through the village ferrying visitors to popular destinations such as Keswick, Penrith and Kendal or head to Windermere train station to explore further afield.
