Ambleside and Rydal
Ambleside is an idyllic village at the north end of Lake Windermere with a wonderful warm weather even through late autumn. Ambleside is a good base for hiking, mountaineering and mountain biking. It has a selection of hotels, guesthouses, pubs and restaurants. The main landmark is the Bridge House, built over Stock Ghyll more than 300 years ago probably as a summer house and apple store for Ambleside Hall. Nowadays it is used as an information centre for the National Trust. | Book this City | Grasmere
Located on a lake of the same name, Grasmere is probably the Cumbria's most popular village, thanks to William Wordsworth who has lived and died here. Most of the buildings date from the 19th or early 20th Century, though the farms around Grasmere are much older. The Church dates from the 13th Century. The Lake offers superb views, especially early morning in the summer, with the mist rising. Rowing boats are available for hire. There is a little island in the middle of the Lake. | Book this City | Kendal
Kendal is a small town in Cumbria, best known as a centre for tourism and as the home of Kendal mint cake, its buildings constructed with the local grey limestone have earned it the nickname the Auld Grey Town. The main attractions are the Museum of Natural History and Archaeology, one of the oldest in the country, including an exhibition on the geology of the Lake District, and a stuffed polar bear, and Abbot Hall Art Gallery. Kendal has a 13th-century parish church that merits a visit. | Book this City | Ullswater
Set in a region of a spectacular natural beauty, Ullswater is the second largest lake in the English Lake District. Cosidered to be the most beautiful of the English lakes, it is often compared to the superb Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. The greatest attractions of Ullswater are the lake steamers which offer tourist trips around the lake. Another of Ullswater's attractions is the spectacular waterfall of Aira Force midway along the lake on the western side. Close to the falls is Lyulph's Tower, a pele tower. | Book this City | Windermere
Situated entirely within in the Lake District National Park, Windermere is the largest natural lake in England. It has been one of the country's most popular places for holidays and summer homes since 1847. For many years, power-boating and water-skiing have been popular activities on the lake. For a panoramic view of the Lakeland, you can climb Orrest Head in less than an hour. Bowness-on-Windermere is the most popular holiday resort, an excellent centre for boating activities. | Book this City |
