Neighborhood info

Clappersgate, nestled beneath the picturesque Loughrigg fell, is a charming village located just a mile from Ambleside on the Coniston road. In the 16th century, it held the classification of a port, boasting a wharf on the Brathay river. This historical port facilitated the transportation of local quarried slate downstream to Windermere and beyond, serving as a crucial trade route to the south. Despite its peaceful setting Half Way House offers easy access to Ambleside being only 2 miles away, one of the most popular towns in the Lake District. Nestled at the head of Windermere and surrounded by breath taking landscapes, Ambleside has much to offer. While it attracts many visitors, the town reveals its true charm when you venture away from the bustling main roads and explore its hidden treasures. In addition to its stunning natural beauty, Ambleside boasts a vibrant town centre with a charming selection of restaurants, cafés, and traditional pubs. These establishments cater to diverse culinary tastes, with an array of delicious options to satisfy any palate. As you explore the town, you'll also discover a delightful assortment of specialty shops, offering unique products and outdoor gear from trusted brands. Ambleside's welcoming atmosphere and friendly locals make it a true gem within the Lake District.
