About the event
Join us on Sunday 24th August for a half-day adventure in the Lake District, mixing iconic Ambleside sights with one of the best bang-for-your-buck viewpoints in the Lakes — Wansfell Pike.
We’ll start with some picture-perfect town wanderings, ticking off the Insta-famous Bridge House, then stretch our legs with a visit to the tumbling Stock Ghyll Force waterfall. From there, it’s a steady (okay… steep) climb to the 484m summit of Wansfell Pike, where views explode in every direction — Windermere glistening below, rugged peaks rolling off into the distance, and Ambleside looking like a postcard. We’ll then drop back into town where you can join for an optional pub lunch or grab a coffee and sit lakeside.
If you fancy a walk that’s short, sweet, and seriously scenic — this one’s for you.
Why Join?
It’s not just a walk — it’s a little slice of Lakeland magic:
