About Ambleside
- The central Lake District around Ambleside contains some of the most celebrated landscapes in England, including the Langdale Pikes — the distinctive twin summits that are visible from much of the central Lakes — and the valleys of Langdale and Rydal, which were among the favourite haunts of William Wordsworth. Wordsworth lived at Dove Cottage in Grasmere, a short distance from Ambleside, from 1799 to 1808, and the landscape of the central Lakes inspired some of his most celebrated poetry. The area is now one of the most visited parts of the Lake District National Park, and the combination of the fells, the lakes, and the literary heritage makes it one of the most distinctive landscapes in England.
