Ambleside

Even worse weather today . Got drenched orienteering on the bleak fells near Shap.  Evening dash into Ambleside to check out the restaurants.

Bridge House stands over Stock Beck in the middle of Ambleside as a quirky reminder of Ambleside’s past, surviving from the 17C. It has been used as a counting house for the mills of Rattle Ghyll, a tea-room, a weaving shop, a cobbler's, a chair maker's and, at one time, a home to a family of eight!
