Ambleside is the town that does everything. It’s like the class valedictorian who also runs the hiking club. You’ll find Bridgette’s – a tiny, legendary bakery where the cinnamon buns are the size of your head.
Quirky Fact: The town has a “Bridge House” built on a single-arch bridge over a stream. It was once an apple store. An apple store. Before iPhones, you could just steal an apple.
Don’t miss Stock Ghyll Force. It’s a waterfall right in town. You can hear it roar while you’re buying postcards. It’s nature’s reminder that you’re in the Lake District, not a theme park.
