From Ambleside go north through Grasmere and on to Keswick where you can spend a bit of time at Derwentwater then across to Penrith and up to Carlisle to get into Scotland. That would be the most direct route through the Lakes and you would see some great places and scenery but of course there is so much more to see depending on how much time you can allocate for the visit. You would be able to see quite a lot with just spending 2 nights in the area. Needless to say there is plenty of information on POE to help you Edited by: Dave John at:4th January 2013 07:40 |

Cant wait until my map arrives and we can see the route of the villages. I have a map, but it doesn't show in detail. You've been very helpful, thank you. |

Needless to say it works the same for any other location as well....The Lake District, and Ambleside in particular, is my favourite part of this country.

If your in Edinburgh, not far from the border is Lindisfarne Castle....Absolutely quaint village for sure and the castle is well worth seeing. |
