Everything you need for great outdoor activity holidays or school trips - watersports, walking, climbing and steamboat trips, it’s all here. YHA Ambleside is on the edge of Lake Windermere, host to a variety of watersports and overlooking the nearby Langdale Pikes - great for walking and climbing. Tickets for cruises and Mountain Goat tours are available from reception. The hostel has a modern bar and restaurant serving good food and local ales, just right for weekend breaks. The village has plenty of shops to browse and two cinemas for evening entertainment. We can organise outdoor activity packages for groups, including rock climbing, kayaking, ghyll scrambling and canoeing. If you're on a walking holiday, don't forget to ask at reception for walking routes in the area.
