Ambleside is a town in Cumbria, in North West England. Historically within the county of Westmorland, Ambleside is situated at the head of Windermere, England's largest water. The town is within the Lake District National Park. Ambleside is also home to the headquarters of Brathay Exploration Group, a youth charity based just beyond Clappersgate on the road to Hawkshead.
Ambleside is administered by South Lakeland District Council and forms part of the Lakes civil parish but from 1894 to 1935 it was a separate urban district council. ‘Steamers' (in reality diesel-powered ferries) run to Bowness-on-Windermere and Lakeside offering fine views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Ambleside is a base for hiking, mountaineering and mountain biking. It has a number of hotels, guest houses, pubs and restaurants as well as shops. In particular, there are a number of shops selling equipment for walkers and climbers in the town. Ambleside is a popular starting point for the Fairfield horseshoe, a hillwaking ridge hike.
Ambleside features an oceanic climate, but being within the Lake District it does experience higher annual rainfall than the average for the North-West of England. Parts of the town have been flooded on numerous occasions, with the River Rothay breaking its banks during Storm Desmond in December 2015.

weekend away: the Lake District: Beatrix Potter HillTop: Cocktails:National trust Mrs Hible
Myself and Mr Hible went away for the weekend with no children. We headed up to the Lake District staying in Ambleside. It was great to get away and we can really recommend the Diamond Lodge Boutique Hotel Adults only. During our stay we visited four National trust properties including Hill Top the home to Beatrix Potter it was an amazing dream come true as one of my favourite childhood authors. We ate nice food, had cocktails, talked and had uninterrupted sleep.

Red Bank Guest House Ambleside, Ambleside, England - United Kingdom (GB)
for reviews, prices and info.
Red Bank Guest House Ambleside, Ambleside, England - United Kingdom (GB)
Built in approximately 1904 the house was originally called Glenamble and was a large semi detached house with adjoining servants quarters. Our central location makes Red Bank Guest House an ideal base for discovering the Lake District - From here all the grandeur of the Lake District National Park are within easy reach - as are outdoor activities and water sports of every kind. We have 3 tastefully furnished en-suite rooms offering spacious deluxe Bed Breakfast accommodation with many little extras. Our 5 Star Visit Britain award together with our Silver Accolade reflect the comfort, quality and service enjoyed by our guests. Feel assured that we will do our very best to make your stay with us as relaxing and comfortable as possible. Although there has been a settlement since pre-Roman times, Ambleside is largely Victorian. A fort beside Borrans Park - named Galava - was built in Ambleside by the Romans, housing some 500 soldiers. It was built to defend the lower fells of South Lakeland from invasion by the Picts and Scots, and to guard the road to the Roman Port at Ravenglass via Hard Knott Pass. The opening of the Lake Windermere ferry terminal at Waterhead Pier in 1845 created further expansion. Today ferries can be taken to Bowness and Lakeside. Many well known characters have been connected with Ambleside, including William Wordsworth, Hardwicke Rawnsley, John Ruskin and Beatrix Potter. More about these people can be found in the The Armitt Museum. William Wordsworth had an office here, in Church St, as a result of his role as Collector of Stamps for Westmorland. He was elected to the post soon after his family moved to their house at Rydal Mount. St Marys Church, completed in 1854, was designed by Sr George Gilbert Scott in the Early English style. It is mainly of local blue stone, with a sandstone spire, an unusual feature for a Lakeland church. There is a chapel devoted to the memory of William Wordsworth.Hotel Rating: Visit Britain 5 star
