Wonderful walk up to Grove Barn Cafe in Stock Valley with 360 degree fell views.

Park in Ambleside or jump on the rooftop bus from Bowness for £2. Start the walk at the tourist information office in Ambleside and follow the signs to the Waterfalls. Walk up towards Stock Ghyll and take the stile on the right that leads up to Stockghyll Lane . Turn left and keep walking and you’ll come across the cafe.
