The church is Ambleside's most prominent landmark so head for the spire as we are right next door to it.
From the south, take the A590/A591 byapssing Kendal and Windermere, towards Ambleside. At Waterhead traffic lights, turn left on to the A593 and follow into the centre of town, past the rugby club and onto the one way system. The putting green in on your left, bear left at the top of the road and The Gables is straight ahead of you.
From the north, go through the town centre (all one way), turn right down Wansfell Road (signposted Coniston), bear right at the T junction (still on the one way system) and bear left at the first junction. The Gables is in front of you and you're heading towards the church gates.

Nearby Attractions:
The Lake District National Park is regarded as England's finest area of scenic and natural beauty with England's highest mountain and longest lake right at the centre of the Park.
As a tourist centre, Ambleside has a long and favourable history. For well over 150 years it has earned a living catering for visitors and all sectors of the tourist market, from campers to gourmets, will find satisfactory establishments in Ambleside in which to stay, eat and drink. There are restaurants, cafés, pubs and take-away food shops to suit all tastes and pockets, including Thai, Asian and continental cuisine.
The town is easily reached by road, being 20 miles from the M6 motorway, and is served by several bus services, including National Express. Rail travel is to Windermere, four miles away with easy bus and taxi access. There is a direct Manchester Airport/Windermere rail link.
Ambleside is a very convenient starting point for excursions, walking, cycling or driving, into all areas of the Lake District, situated as it is at the hub of the area's road system. The town centre is only a mile from the head of Lake Windermere which offers a variety of water activities.
Mainstream activities in the Lake District have an outdoor emphasis combined with simple leisurely enjoyment of the magnificent scenery and its literary and artistic heritage. The area is justly famous as an escape for stressed out urban dwellers who come to enjoy a little solitude as they walk the hills. Specialist shops in Ambleside offer a welcome variation on High Street chains while galleries and small museums allow quiet contemplation. The area is equally famous for its high quality mountaineering opportunities being the centre of English rock climbing and the country's most popular upland walking area.
A good stay in Ambleside might include something of all these interests, combined with an occasional dinner in one of many high quality restaurants and a sampling of the vast selection of real ales available in the pubs. If the great outdoors is what you want, at local shops and info centres you can buy books and leaflets telling you how to get on to the fells (northern English hills/mountains).
We will be happy to help you with local information on all aspects of your visit to Ambleside and the Lake District.
