Ambleside, located near the northern extremity of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, is an excellent location for seeing the middle Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley only a short drive away. There is lots to do here, including cruises, boat trips, and watersports on Lake Windermere, as well as several shops, restaurants, and bars to satisfy all tastes in the hamlet. The parkland at Waterhead gives excellent views along the lake and a brief strip of beach, while a walk in the opposite direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, leads to the captivating cascade of Stock Ghyll Force.
