Ambleside
Ambleside is just a few miles away. The vibrant village centre is well worth a visit; whether you like to relax while sipping coffee in one of the many cafes, visiting historic sites such as the roman fort at Waterhead, or strolling to Lake Windermere for a lake cruise to Bowness or Lakeside. There are plenty of outdoor stores for picking up walking, climbing and biking essentials as well as a variety of other shopping opportunities, a Rock Shop and a Cinema. For advice on where best to visit, the Tourist Information at the Post Office offers help throughout the year.
