Ambleside
Description: Ambleside can be reached from junction 36 on the M6 motorway via the A591, or alternatively, by bus. Ambleside can also be reached by taking a boat from Bowness Pier or Lakeside to Waterhead Pier. This little village, which has been around since before the Romans built a settlement near Borrans Park, is a busy tourist area as it is the gateway to the Northern Lakes.
As Ambleside is a small village parking is limited, however, public transport in summer is excellent. Even though this village is small there are two cinemas, commercial banks, cuisine restaurants, pubs and many shops which supply climbing and fell equipment as well as suitable hiking and climbing clothing.
Ambleside offers a wealth of activities such as miniature golf, tennis, a museum and as Ambleside is surrounded by Wansfell, Fairfield and Loughrigg Fells there are numerous scenic walks to do. Additionally, there are many circular walks to do around Rydal Water.
Ambleside has a wide selection of accommodations to choose from, these range from bed and breakfast establishments, Guest Houses, self catering to five star hotels - some of which offer spa facilities.
