You went to Ambleside on a sunny Bank Holiday? Jesus, what time did you go in? About 4am? They are standing on each other's heads by 0830. It's a lovely place but you need to be there out of season and/or in the week.A weekend trip to The Lake District has reminded me that despite being a tourist honey pot, Ambleside is indeed a fine little town. It also has the 'blingest' bike shop I've ever seen in my life.
Unfortunately I spent a few hours in Grange-over-Sands and found it dreadful. A little town with only one pub - and a piss poor one at that. Great views across Morcambe Bay and little else.
