Situated at the northern end of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside is a vibrant and picturesque town that makes an excellent base for exploring the central Lake District. Its charming streets are filled with independent shops, cosy cafés, traditional pubs and excellent restaurants, all set against the stunning backdrop of the surrounding fells.
For visitors arriving by car, Ambleside is easily reached via the M6 motorway, leaving at Junction 36 and following the A590 and A591 directly into the heart of the Lakes. If travelling by train, the nearest mainline station is at Windermere, just over 4 miles away, with regular bus and taxi connections into town.
Once in Ambleside, you can enjoy cruises and boat trips on Lake Windermere from Waterhead Pier or relax by the lakeshore park and beach. A short woodland walk leads to the striking Stock Ghyll Force waterfall, while in the centre of town you’ll find the iconic 17th-century Bridge House – one of the smallest and most photographed buildings in the Lakes.
