Heavy Rain Walk Through Ambleside Town, English Countryside

No talking, just walking. Exploring the English Countryside. A nice gentle walk around Ambleside Town in the poring rain. Walking through the centre of town we come across a heavy flowing river that passes under a house on a bridge. Bridge House was built over Stock Ghyll more than 300 years ago, probably as a summer house and apple store for Ambleside Hall. It was purchased by local people in 1926 and given to the National Trust. Listed Grade I, the building is now used as an information centre for the National Trust, and is part of the Trust's Windermere and Troutbeck property. We continue around town until reaching St Mary's Church and have a look inside before finishing walking around the Churchyard. A lovely wet walk. Do enjoy :)
