Ambleside

Ambleside is a town in Westmorland, which stands at the head of Windermere, England's largest lake. The town is within the Lake District National Park and is a centre for fell-walking and sightseeing.

From Ambleside the Kirkstone Road leads north up through the dramatic Kirkstone Pass linking Windermere with Ullswater over the high fells. Boats run along the lake from Ambleside to Bowness-on-Windermere and Lakeside, offering fine views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Ambleside is a base for hiking, mountaineering and mountain biking. (Read more)
