Some Walks from Ambleside

There's lots of great walking to be had near Ambleside whatever your fitness and whatever the weather. We've got lots on our web site. Here's three starting from Ambleside itself for you to explore, starting with the most gentle:

Stockghyll Force

• Stockghyll Force - a short and sweet waterfall walk from the heart of Ambleside. Stockghyll Force is marked on the map but can be a little tricky to find unless you know the secret.

• An Ambleside Waterfalls Wander - Stockghyll Force and Blue Hill Wood - for those people looking for something a little bit longer this is a great little wander around the environs of Ambleside again taking you to Stockghyll Force and then up the hill for a great view over Ambleside and the surrounding hills.

• Wansfell, and Wansfell Pike - if you like summits then this is the one for you. Again you get to see Stockghyll Force and then you climb up to Wansfell Pike and on to Wansfell. For baggers it also gives you a Wainwright and, potentially, two Birketts.

And remember our Lake District Walk Finder has more walks near Ambleside if none of these take your fancy.
