Not all National Trust properties are open yet, and those that are require pre-booking via their website, no later than 15:00 on the day prior to visit.
If you, or any of your party have a new persistant cough, or develop a fever of 38C, we would instead advise you to use the NHS's dedicated website for professional advice.
The bustling Lake District villages of Windermere and Ambleside are situated around lake Windermere, England’s longest lake. With fells, woodland, parks, the quirky little Bridge House and a Roman fort on offer, this part of the Lake District is great for families looking for fun in the great outdoors.
For those interested in an adventure on foot there’s plenty of choice, with something to suit even the littlest legs. One of our favourites is the short walk from Ambleside to Stagshaw Gardens which, in the spring and summer, bursts into life with a blaze of colour and scent. Alternatively, venture into one of our ancient woodlands and discover some of the country’s tallest trees and a habitat teeming with wildlife and mini-beasts.
Our lakeshore parks offer access to the water and are brilliant for a picnic and a bit of a paddle. The lake itself is ripe for exploration, it has no fewer than 18 islands and is home to the Lake District’s largest population of Goldeneye Ducks.
