🎤 To watch with subtitles, please click the 'CC' button on your RUclips 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 was at the university when it was Charlotte Mason College, from 1969 to 1972. In my first year I stayed in Low Nook which i think is the Armitt and my bedroom was at the top right. We often went round the corner to the Golden Rule for a drink and a Rule roll.
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.
Well narrarated and knoweldgeable. I live in carlisle, passed through here hundreds of times, beautiful part of the country [especially when the sun is shining.].
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.
Hi, Awesome live walk today I enjoyed it can't wait to see more soon. Beautiful and historical the medieval town is. Have a great day greetings from Canada 😀
Thanks for your time and effort in making this great video. Looking to stay in Ambleside this UK summer, when visiting from Australia, and this gave me a terrific overview. 😍
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.
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 .

Thank you so much for your amazing videos. Your insights have been incredibly helpful, and I really appreciate the effort you put into it.

We've just left today I'd recommend the royal oak pub if you want some hearty wholesome food I'd recommend the fish n chips

This is going on my list if I get to central UK. Seems like a nice place to spend the summer with a bike.
Great. I'm your fan.
I know this place, I've blasted through it at 200 mph in a Nissan GTR
I have visited this place, but there were no 599XX evos speeding up to 300mph:(
You've obviously added too many zeros. You'd be lucky to crawl around Ambleside at 20mph in a car. ... certainly not 200!
