Nothing spectacular but a small stone house built on a bridge said to avoid paying land taxes. It get more interesting when you learn more about its history and related stories. It has become one of the most photographed houses in the UK and a must-see when people visiting Ambleside. It is pleasant to stroll around the house, sit on the bank or benches for a rest or explore shops and restaurants nearby.

A small stone building sitting on top of a bridge. Said to be one of the icons in the area. Nice to stop by, take some pictures, and enjoy the environment.

Bridge House is possibly the most photographed building in the Lake District, and a popular subject for many artists including Turner. A tiny building, originally an apple store for nearby Ambleside Hall, was built over Stock Beck to escape land tax. Once five mills were driven by the power of Stock Beck and some may still be seen nearby. It is said that at some time a family with six children lived here in the two rooms.
