Ambleside lies at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do in and around the area, from boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere to shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony along with “Bridge House” – one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District, now the National Trust Information Centre.
