AMBLESIDE, a small market-town of Westmoreland, about a mile from the head of Windermere, and 12 miles north-west of Kendal. During the summer months it is much frequented by tourists, on account of its beautiful situation and the numerous places of interest in its vicinity, including Rydal Mount, for many years the residence of the poet Wordsworth. In a field near the lake, are indistinct remains of Roman fortifications, in which coins, urns, and other relics, have been frequently discovered. It has a free grammar school, and manufactories of coarse woollens. Market-day Wednesday.—Pop. in 1851, 1592.
