Just outside Ambleside at the northern end of Lake Windermere, Clappersgate is a small hamlet perfectly positioned for exploring the central Lake District. Set where the River Brathay meets the road to Coniston and Hawkshead, it offers a peaceful base with excellent access to some of the area’s best-loved walks and attractions.
Clappersgate is within easy reach of Ambleside, just a 15-minute stroll along the road, and lies on the A593, making it a convenient stop for those travelling by car. The nearest train station is at Windermere, about 5 miles away, with bus and taxi connections available.
From here, you can walk straight into the surrounding fells, enjoy a riverside picnic, or head down to the shores of Windermere at Waterhead. The nearby Brathay Hall estate offers open grounds to explore, while the charming villages of Hawkshead and Coniston are only a short drive away through some of the most scenic routes in the Lakes.
With its quiet setting, proximity to Ambleside, and easy access to the wider area, Clappersgate is an ideal choice for those who want a tranquil base within walking distance of the Lake District’s main sights.
