Ambleside: A popular town for mountain bikers, mountaineers and hikers. It provides easy access to surrounding mountains, as well as Stock Ghyll Force, a 70-foot-high waterfall, which is a short walk from the downtown area, Ambleside was granted a charter in the 17th century.
Situated on the north end of Lake Windermere, the town of 2,600 people contains a handful of pubs, shops and restaurants. And, while the town has its fair share of hotels and guest houses, Ambleside cottages are probably a better option for those wishing to spend more time exploring the lake and surrounding fells.
Windermere: Considered a village, Windermere sits less than a mile from the shores of Lake Windermere. More than 10 miles in length, Lake Windereme is the largest in England, and is popular spot for yachting. Cottages scattered throughout the wooded slopes provide accommodations in Windermere that are perfect for those looking for a lakeside getaway.
