base for exploring the beautiful English Lake District. With it's own
Olde Worlde character, Ambleside is a major Lakeland activity centre

for all tastes. It is also very central and provides easy access to
other Lakeland Towns and Villages of interest including; Grasmere, Hawkshead,
Bowness-on-Windermere and Keswick.
Leave the M6 motorway at junction 36 and follow the
signs to Windermere. Then carry on the A591 to Ambleside. Just before
Ambleside, opposite the Hayes Garden Centre, take the first right into
Old Lake Road. Travel along into Lower Gale and the Lakelands is on your

Other Areas to explore are
England’s longest lake, Windermere,
continues to be a popular destination for tourists visiting Cumbria.
Whether sailing on the lake or climbing the fells, the splendour of
the area is unsurpassed.
To the north of Windermere is some of the best
fell walking in the UK including the Langdale
Pikes in the awesome Langdale Valley. For something less strenuous,
amble around the lanes of the village of Grasmere - famed for being
the home to the poet William Wordsworth. An excellent view over the
village, and of the ‘mere’ of the same name, can be achieved
from Brackenfell just to the east of the village.
