Ambleside campsites
Set at the head of Lake Windermere, Ambleside campsites are deep within fells and and the district's intense scenery. Once you've taken in the hearty food on offer, snap shots of the Lakes' past at the 17th century Bridge House lounging across Stock Ghyll and head to the captivating 70 foot waterfall, Stock Ghyll Force, for the real majesty of nature. Before leaving, take the opportunity to board a ferry for Bowness or another tempting lake.
