Well if you’re anything like us – a fan of nature, outdoor activities, and quaint rural towns – then you’re sure to love the town of Ambleside in the Lake District! Ambleside is a picturesque place situated just at the northern point of Windermere, which is the UK’s largest lake!

Your guide to Ambleside
If you’re a regular visitor to the Lake District, then you’re probably very familiar with Ambleside – it’s one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region and is home to some of the Lake District’s biggest and best attractions. For those who need a helping hand with planning the perfect Lake District getaway, here is our quickfire guide to Ambleside!
Take some time on the water
If you visit the Lake District without heading out onto the water then you’ve left without truly experiencing the Lake District – in our opinion, there’s no better way to get a feel for the region than heading out onto the water on a steamer, a cruise boat, or a smaller private boat! Whilst you’re on the water, you’ll get to see your surroundings in a truly unique light – with the towering hills looming over you and the vast water seeming to go on for miles, it really does feel like an experience that’s once in a lifetime. Of course, you can visit the Lake District whenever you like if you live in the UK; it’s in a very accessible location and can be reached in just a couple of hours from almost anywhere in the north of England! If you want to book a boat trip, be sure to head down to one of the local piers or docks – there are regular trips that run every day during the peak season, so you’re sure to be able to find something that grabs your attention.
Explore the estate the inspired Beatrix Potter’s stories
Beatrix Potter is one of Britain’s most beloved authors and for much of her life, she resided right here in the Lake District, just outside of Ambleside at Hill Top, her fantastic remote estate. The cottage at Hill Top is now operated by the National Trust, who preserve and maintain the grounds just as Potter left them; full of imagination and childish wonder. Hill Top is said to be the inspiration for iconic children’s stories such as Peter Rabbit, and it’s easy to see why this place was such a fantastic place to write and allow your creative imagination to run wild – it’s a simply breathtaking space. You can take a tour of the cottage and even grab a few Beatrix Potter-inspired gifts at the shop too; some of the proceeds are used to keep the grounds in good shape, so it’s all for a worthy cause!
Book a room at The Wateredge Inn
Finding the right accommodation in the Lake District is no easy task – there are so many different options in terms of the type of rooms and restrictions to face that it can feel like a real chore.
