AmblesideWelcome to our page of information, attractions and places of interest around Ambleside. The Ambleside hotels listed below are either in the Ambleside or we have given a rough guide as to how far they are from Ambleside. From Ambleside you can explore the beautiful Lake District National Park in the county of Cumbria, the largest English National Park, with spectacular mountain scenery, forest trails and lakeside paths around the 16 major lakes. We hope you enjoy your stay and find your ideal accommodation from our list of Ambleside hotels and/or the surrounding area.

Ambleside is at the heart of the southern lakes region. The cosy Ambleside centre consists of a cluster of grey stone houses and shops and the ancient market cross, on the circular one-way system that loops round south of the narrow gully of stony Stock Ghyll. The rest of Ambleside lies a mile south at Waterhead, a harbour on the shores of Windermere that is filled with swans, ducks and rowing boats. Ambleside is easy to get to, being only 20 miles from the M6 motorway, and only 4 miles from Windermere. Ambleside offers all you would expect from a typical Lake District village with its lake, the scenery, walking, climbing, specialist shops, museums and excellent pubs and restaurants. Many good walks are possible directly from the centre of the town. Also see Ambleside.
