🎤 To watch with subtitles, please click the 'CC' button on your KZfaq video player :) Good evening! And welcome to a narrated tour of one of the most popular spots in the beloved Lake District: Ambleside! A thriving tourist destination on the northern tip of Windermere, almost everybody who visits the Lake District makes their way through Ambleside, but there's a lot of history to the town that visitors might miss out on! Hopefully this walk will show you just a few of the many riveting hidden gems to be found in Ambleside, but one thing that we didn't mention can be seen around the 8:36 minute mark, when we walked past the Old Bark Mill, on Bridge Street. The bridge in question is the one which crosses Stock Ghyll, but the street on which the bark mill was located was once known by a different name, 'Rattle Gill'. The 'rattle' referred to the noisy rattling that came from the mill, while the 'gill' referred to a 'ginnel', much like an alleyway!

I'd love to visit, but right now with covid, and the Canadian dollar at new lows compared to the pound, it looks like it will be a long time in the future. However, I love visiting by your videos. Thank you for them.

This is going on my list if I get to central UK. Seems like a nice place to spend the summer with a bike.

The plans for the extension of the railway to Ambleside are in the Arrmitt museum. The local hoteliers supported the scheme. Wordsworth and Ruskin definitely did not. Gale How is a small hill on the outskirts. A speculative hotel was built on Lower Gale and the house for the Station Master at the end of High Gale. Funding the railway viaduct at Troutbeck would have cost each resident of Ambleside £21,000. An enormous sum in those days that effectively scuppered the scheme.

one of the benches is dedicated to tony Harrison we have been going to lakes from kent for over 40 years so when he passed suddenly we had a bench donated right next to bridge house , so probably most photographed bench ever ? he would have been so chuffed .

It might be noted that Dr Thomas Arnold who wrote "Tom Brown's Schooldays" lived and died in Ambleside. Also there is a small hamlet on the outskirts of Ambleside just off the Kirkstone Pass Road called Edinboro. Apparently it was occupied by families brought from Scotland to work in the local quarries.
