About

You may have walked the narrow pavements of Ambleside, exploring the various cafes, gift outlets and outdoor shops, but did you know that behind the main streets, you can find a fascinating history of the older town? Covering the story of Ambleside’s mills and industry, the markets and the people, we aim to give you an insight into our beautiful town at the centre of the Lake District.

Join us on one of our Heritage Walking Tours of Ambleside, created by our local Armitt volunteers and with inspiration and thanks from the Heritage Trail leaflet produced by the Ambleside Civic Trust.

The tour will take approx. 1 hour and 15 minutes and start from The Armitt. Please come in appropriate clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear. The walk will be on footpaths, but there are some sections that are slightly steeper. Your ticket includes entry into The Armitt Museum.
