About Ambleside Backpackers

If you want to EXPLORE the glorious scenery of England's most beautiful National Park... nowhere is better placed than AMBLESIDE, right in the centre of the Lake District.

Ambleside is a great base for exploring, touring, walking and cycling situated in the centre of the Lake District National Park, just 7minutes walk from the North end of Lake Windermere.
Easy access by bus, car, foot or bike to all the Lakes, Mountains and Towns in the Lake District

Many fine mountain and valley walks, both easy and strenuous, start from the hostel doorstep.

Ambleside's has a good choice of restaurants, cafes , pubs and a beautiful church. It offers good shopping, particularly for art, gifts and outdoor gear (not to mention a great chocolate & fudge shop!), and good book shops.
