A heritage trail tour of a Lake District town is taking place next week.

The Heritage Walking Tour of Ambleside was created by volunteers at The Armitt Museum, Gallery, and Library, inspired by the Heritage Trail leaflet produced by the Ambleside Civic Trust.

The walk will cover the story of Ambleside's mills and industry, the markets and the people.

A spokesperson for the event said: "You may have walked the narrow pavements of Ambleside, exploring the various cafes, gift outlets and outdoor shops, but did you know that behind the main streets, you can find a fascinating history of the older town?

"We aim to give you an insight into the honeypot destination at the centre of the Lake District."

The walks will take place on August 7 and 28 at 2:30pm and tickets cost £12.

The tour will take approximately one hour and start from The Armitt.

Walkers are advised to wear appropriate clothing for the weather and sturdy footwear.
