A view of #Ambleside from Wansfell our starting point in the heart of the #LakeDistrict @CumbriaMagazine
We can start at the roman fort at the edge of #Windermere. The Romans stated to push into the lakes in the early 90’s AD, this fort dates to the rebuild in Hadrian’s Reign possibly after warfare which brought about #HadriansWall #Ambleside
The #Ambleside posting wasn’t always a peaceful one as the gravestone in the @ArmittMuseum shows one man was killed “in the fort”
Time to leave and head out of town passing this scale model of the famous Bridge House in #Ambleside #virtualwalk
