Glamping near Ambleside

·

Ambleside sits within Lake District National Park, perched at the northern tip of Windemere—England's largest natural lake. In less than two hours' driving time, glampers can also reach Yorkshire Dales National Park, the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and North Pennines AONB. Glamping is a first-class way to experience the sights and activities surrounding Ambleside—after rock climbing in Malham Cove, hiking Pendle Hill, and watching the rushing waters of the 70-foot High Force Waterfall, retreat to an octagonal cabin with a log-burning stove and outdoor firepit in the heart of Yorkshire Dales’ countryside. Or, savour the sights of Lake District’s Old Man of Coniston from a glamping pod with a private lavatory and hot tub nestled beneath a gazebo for year-round use. The amenities found in Ambleside's glamping sites create an indulgent atmosphere that even wet English winters can’t wash away.
