Latest Ambleside hotel reviews
nickandchris Says: I shouldn't really feature Ambleside's famous smallest house, it being so much ON the tourist track and not the sort of thing I promote but what the heck. Once in a while I've got to go with the flow....!!!Situated on the left of the main road to Keswick, after you have...
nickandchris Says: This is a pleasant, relatively easy uphill walk from the centre of Ambleside, starting from behind the Salutation Hotel. Walk a short distance up Stockghyll Lane and follow directions to the left, through a small gate.The walk follows the tumbling beck all the way, passing...
iandsmith Says: The little lake at Grasmere, a village to the north of Ambleside, is one of the gems of the Lakeland scenery; indeed, Grasmere is an excellent centre from which to visit some of the points of interest in the district. Wordsworth’s cottage stands half a mile outside the...
iandsmith Says: If you're looking for somewhere to eat, the White Horse Hotel is recommended, especially if you're into quality pub food.In a town of around 2,000 regular inhabitants there are ample choices to make due to the fact that the place relies heavily on tourism for its income.
iandsmith Says: The forestry skills of the local people, developed over the centuries in the production of charcoal , were exploited to coppice hundreds of acres of woodland. These were ideally placed to supply the demand for millions of bobbins for the new spinning mills. Harnessing the...
iandsmith Says: Ambleside can be found at the northern end of Lake Windermere, close to Waterhead, between Wansfell and Loughrigg Fell. Ambleside is also a convenient base for touring the central areas of the Lake District, Grasmere and the Langdale valleys being a short journey by car or...

Lucys on a Plate: Burnt Potatoes at Ambleside
thechaosproject Says: Lucy's is supposed to be excellent. It is certainly impressive, for example, that Lucy herself was on the floor during the evening, which may signify a cheering personal touch; and my girlfriend's wine was excellent. However, it could also be taken that there were problems...

APPLE PIE EATING HOUSE & BAKERY: Much more than Apple Pie
MartinSelway Says: This place is a must if you are passing through Ambleside. You'll proably spot it by the queue outside the door! The food is baked by them and served either as take-away or eat in. Here you will find some of the freshest, most generously portioned, good value for money food...

WELL AND TRULY ON THE BEATEN PATH...
Last week, after some torrential rain the week before, I thought "doing" a waterfall would be a rewarding experience; ie; the river would be in full spate. Stockghyll Force in Ambleside is one of the...
