But it's also only a short drive away from vibrant Ambleside village and all the attractions of Lake Windermere. Close by, Ambleside is well-stocked with contemporary shops, renowned Lake District restaurants and traditional Lakeland pubs. Stroll from the village centre to Waterhead Pier, and you'll find Windermere Lake 'steamers' provide your scenic route to Bowness and Lakeside.
To your West, explore the breathtaking Langdale Valley, renowned for its unspoilt landscapes. Wander down to the valley bottom to admire more views or take on the famous Langdale Pikes, but remember you can't beat the views from Crop Howe. There are several excellent country pubs in the valley to complete your day, with the Skelwith Bridge Hotel being the nearest and The Drunken Duck being a 20 minute walk away. Ambleside is a great place to start if you plan to explore the wider Lake District. To your south is picturesque Hawkshead, famously home to the author Beatrix Potter whose home can be visited at Hill Top. Historic Grasmere is only a 10-minute drive away - a world-famous location for its connections with William Wordsworth.
