About Ambleside

The Lake District is world famous for its beauty and grandeur. The magnificent landscape inspired Beatrix Potter, John Ruskin and the great Romantic poets Coleridge and Wordsworth. It is an area of lakes and mountains, of quiet green valleys, hill farms and friendly villages. And, as one of the main tourist centres in Britain, it has the facilities you would expect; cinemas, theatres, music, shops, and good transport connections.
