With a rich heritage in literature and fine arts, a wide range of shopping and dining options and extremely friendly locals, the rural British town of Ambleside has it all!

- Jenkins Crag: Climb 730 feet up to the top for wonderful views of the village and surrounding hills.

- Stagshaw Garden: Nestled on a steep hillside, this garden is a particularly beautiful place in warmer months to see the azaleas and camellias in full bloom.

- Stock Ghyll Force: This 70 foot waterfall was used to power several mills in the area when Ambleside was an industrial haven.

- Rydal Mount: The home of Williams Wordsworth for the last 35 years of his life, this historical site has changed little since it was last occupied in the mid 19th century.

- Skelghyll Woods: The woods offer a number of hiking options and planned out walking trails.

A vacation rental is the preferred option for those staying in Ambleside. Book a condo in the heart of town or rent a cottage surrounded by sweeping countryside and vast hills. No matter when you decide to visit, there will likely be major events and festivals in and around Ambleside to take part in such as the Lake Artists Society Summer Exhibition.

There is a lot to do in Ambleside alone, but many visitors also like to take day trips to sample the amazing attractions that the Cumbria region has to offer. If you have some extra time to explore the area, the beautiful views in Old Hutton, the endless pastures and countryside of Keswick, and the historical attractions of Talkin can all be reached in less than an hour by car. See more...
