Ambleside
With the arrival of the railway and the steam yachts came the development of tourism which still thrives today. This spectacular scenery has inspired academics and students of the day including many famous writers and poets - such as William Wordsworth, John Ruskin and Beatrix Potter, who became a true conservationist of the area.

The bus fare is approximately 1.50 each way and the taxi is approximately 6.00. Connections between any starting point and Windermere can be found by visiting:
