Best Nature and Wildlife Areas in Ambleside

"Brockhole is the official visitor centre of the Lake District, located on the shores of Lake Windermere. While it’s a great place to relax by England’s biggest lake, there’s also plenty to see and do during a visit to Brockhole, whether it’s simply walking through the meadows and woodland or having a go at the Treetop Trek course or even hiring a canoe to adventure onto Lake Windermere. As you can see, there’s so much to see and do for the whole family in the South Lakes area, so why not stop by for a few nights at Holgates holiday cottages here in Silverdale?"

"Enjoy the famous adventure playground, paddle in the lake, and explore the fabulous Mawson designed gardens with good pushchair and wheelchair access. Hire a boat on the lake, with motor boats, rowing boats, kayaks and paddle boards for hire. Challenge yourself with archery, laser clay or inside caving."

"Brockhole, situated in 30 acres of gardens between Ambleside and Windermere, is the Lake District National Park Authority Visitor Centre. One of the most popular Windermere attractions, it has its own landing stage, tree top trek, boat and bike hire, shop, tea rooms….see all things to do here >>"

"Who doesn’t love a warm doughy pizza with tantalizing tomato sauce and an epic mozzarella cheese pull?. Woodstone Pizza & Flame Grill is the perfect restaurant in Keswick to satisfy your craving. This cosy pizzeria serves wood-fired Italian cuisine, as well as tasty meat from the flame grill."

"Sometimes people just feel in the mood to go to and get a classic pizza. Woodstone Pizza and flame grill is definitely the place for that. It's a family friendly restaurant which supplies fabulous pizzas cooked in a stone hot oven and also offers steaks and burgers."
