Walkers will also enjoy the beauty of Grizedale, also home to a Go Ape centre offering a great day out where you can enjoy the view from the canopy on their treetop trail and fly through the air on zip-wires! Visit the stunning National Trust Wray Castle and take in the incredible Neo-gothic architecture from the 1800s with beautiful lakeside grounds. Lake Windermere is England’s largest natural lake and can be enjoyed via the Windermere Lake Cruises, a perfect way to take in the scenery whilst relaxing as you drift along the water, as well as being a great way to get around and see the popular Lake District attractions. Delight in a romantic break with your loved one in the wondrous Lake District at Garden Cottage.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants and pubs in the village to suit all tastes. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
