About the Area

Ambleside sits at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, making it a perfect starting point for lakeside strolls, boat trips, and fell walks. Just a short drive (or scenic walk) away, the Langdale Valley opens up into a breathtaking landscape of rugged peaks, peaceful tarns, and traditional stone villages. Chapel Stile is a welcoming little village with a local shop and a great pub, while Skelwith Bridge and Loughrigg offer quiet riverside and woodland trails with some of the best views in the area.

This blend of lively town life and peaceful countryside makes Ambleside and Langdale ideal for both adventure-seekers and those after a slower pace.

Local Attractions

There’s no shortage of things to do. Explore Stock Ghyll Force, a beautiful waterfall just above Ambleside, or take a boat trip across Lake Windermere to Bowness or Wray Castle. Walkers will love Loughrigg Fell, Elterwater, and the Langdale Pikes, while food lovers can enjoy local favourites like Chesters by the River or a pint at The Britannia Inn in Elterwater. For a bit of history and culture, the Armitt Museum and Bridge House are well worth a visit.
