Whoo hoo the weekend is nearly here, and it’s the Spring Bank holiday weekend, so no work until Wednesday! What am I going to do with myself? Well decent weather permitting I’m going to go walking in the Lake District, to a place called Ambleside.

I love walking, its a great way to clear your head, forget about work, and unwind - the great thing about Ambleside, is not only the superb views, and great walking trails, but it has traditional English pubs - not the bars you now see in Leeds, proper pubs, with proper beer!

Ambleside is a town in Cumbria in north-west England. The town is situated at the head of Windermere, England’s largest lake. The town is within the Lake District National Park, in the Westmorland area.

Many well known characters have been connected with Ambleside, including William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter.
