Exploring beautiful Ambleside in the Lake District, England is the perfect mix of outdoor adventure and rich history.

Tucked at the northern edge of Lake Windermere, Ambleside is a charming village that offers some of the best walks in the Lake District along with fascinating stories from its past.

In this episode, we set out on hikes like Todd Crag and Loughrigg Fell — both delivering sweeping views without an all-day climb.

We’ll also wander to Rydal Water and Grasmere — landscapes that inspired poets and still feel timeless today.

But Ambleside isn’t just about the trails.

The village is full of history, from Roman ruins to centuries-old stone buildings that give it that unmistakable Lakeland character.

Along the way, I’ll share tips on where to eat, shop and relax, plus the best times to visit so you can soak up Ambleside’s charm without the crowds.
