Ambleside's rivers and lakes

Pictures and facts by Grasmere Class

 

Windermere Lake is very special to us. It is the biggest lake in the whole of England. Lots of people come to visit the lake. Especially in summer.There are many different kinds of boat on the lake, from rowing boats to pleasure cruises. The lake is ten miles long. The three main stopping places are Bowness Bay, Waterhead in Ambleside and Lakeside near Newby Bridge.

There are several important rivers and streams in the Ambleside area. The Stock Ghyll goes through the middle of Ambleside and has several water wheels and a small house built on a bridge over it. It meets the River Rothay near our school.
