Luxuriant gardens and woodlands, such as those found at Wray Castle and Brockhole on Windermere, provide tranquil retreats for those seeking a slower pace whilst Windermere is also a hub for cultural experiences, with art galleries, museums, and theatres showcasing the region's rich heritage and creative spirit. However you choose to spend your time in the Lake District, it will be one to remember when you stay at Fairfield View.

Lying at the northern tip of Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, Ambleside makes a superb base for touring the central Lakes, with Grasmere and the Langdale Valley just a short drive away. There is plenty to do here - cruises, boat trips and watersports on Lake Windermere itself and numerous shops, restaurants, and pubs in the village to suit all tastes, including the popular eateries of Misto, Sheila's Cottage, and The Lily Bar. On the lakeside at Waterhead, the parkland offers lovely views down the lake and a short stretch of beach, whilst a walk in the other direction, following Stock Ghyll through woodland, will bring you to the entrancing waterfall of Stock Ghyll Force. Along with the Lake and the great walking on offer, Ambleside is also famous for its annual rushbearing ceremony and the diminutive 17th century “Bridge House” - one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and now the National Trust Information Centre.
