Being so close to Lake Windemere’s large expanse, there’s plenty of scope for activities on the water, such as cruises along the lakeshore, while hiring a kayak or boat is also a popular option. You can even go diving if you choose.

There are also plenty of walks in and around the area, which can take up the whole day or as little as you choose. Follow the lowland route from Ambleside to Wordsworth’s Grasmere or take to the hills to explore the Langdale Pikes and even Scafell Pike, England’s highest peak. Just a short walk away from the centre of the village; you can find Stock Ghyll Force, a mighty 70-foot waterfall that certainly is a spectacle and not to miss when visiting modest Ambleside. Aside from all the adrenaline-pumping activities on offer, there are so many museums and galleries to aim for with stunning artwork that you could spend the whole week in quiet contemplation of artefacts and exhibitions.
