There’s also plenty of low-level walking and a fabulous choice of restaurants and pubs if you fancy a night off cooking. Why not hop on the Windermere Steamer and cruise down to Lakeside, visiting the Aquarium of the Lakes and take a tour of the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Steam Railway? Whatever you choose to do, Jenkins will be awaiting your return.

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.
