Why an Ambleside cottage?
Ambleside rests on the northern shores of Windermere, and offers
so much to see and do, including admiring the phenomenal scenery,
venturing along the many walking trails, including trekking over
fells and up the rugged slopes of the Langdale Peaks or taking a
gentler approach with a stroll around the lake at Windermere. For
something more adrenaline-filled, try mountain biking along
Loughrigg Fell, where you can enjoy picturesque views over Grasmere
and Rydal Water.
Enjoy Ambleside's fascinating artistic and literary
heritage, best explored through visits to local galleries and the
Armitt Museum & Library, offering all kinds of exhibits and
information from Roman times to the present day. Wander around
Ambleside's historic streets and look out for Bridge House, a
tiny yet iconic landmark managed by the National Trust. Other
attractions close to your Ambleside self-catering cottage include
Stock Ghyll Force, Stagshaw Gardens, Rydal Hall and Rydal Mount,
where Wordsworth lived and created many of his famous works. For
