About Ambleside
- Bridge House, the tiny seventeenth-century building that spans Stock Beck in the centre of Ambleside, is one of the most photographed buildings in the Lake District and one of the most recognisable images of the region. The building, which was originally built as an apple store for the Braithwaite family of Ambleside Hall, is now owned by the National Trust and used as an information centre. Ambleside has been a centre for outdoor pursuits since the Victorian era, when the Romantic movement's celebration of the Lake District landscape attracted walkers, artists, and writers to the area, and the town's outdoor equipment shops, climbing walls, and walking guides reflect its continuing role as the outdoor capital of the central Lakes.
