The Bridge House

Beautiful little house. Perfect for photo shoot.

Lovely little place but it's not open but I would still go and see it

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.

Lovely place!

Beautiful small house. I was in love with the stone house architecture …. The location is just simple stunning…. The house has even a balcony…. Ideal spot to seat a relax drinking coffee, tea or just water.

Great town , beautiful shops and very picturesque definitely worth a look especially in the sunshine .

The heart of ambleside. Lovely to stop by and take some snap shots.

A local treasure- I wonder the thought process involved in choosing to build a tiny two story place over a freezing cold river

Beautiful, nice place.

You see how people can be sometimes limitless in doing things for some essential needs when they have to(ground tax etc). This is an interesting piece of thinking.

Such a cute house. We were able to see it early in the morning on a bright sunny day. Be sure to check out the waterfall 0.7 miles away!

Such a cute cottage built on a bridge over a river. Though it was closed when we went but able to see photos of the inside on Google maps.

Probably the most photographed building in the Lakes, reputedly built over the beck to save Land Tax

Loved this little house! We hadn't really looked into the landmarks of Ambleside and stumbled upon it by accident. What a glorious surprise 😁💜

Beautiful structure, nice little bit of local history

We took the grand tour here, up the sweeping staircase into the great hall, where there is a fantastic view of the river.

Probably the most photographed building in Ambleside, maybe the lakes!
It's a cool little building, it's from the 17th century and still looks fantastic to this day, if you're passing through or in Ambleside it's definitely worth a visit!

Cool house in a cool place in the Lake district, wish I had more time to see everything around there.

Small but brilliant. A very helpful lady told us about the history which was really interesting.

A must see tiny house built over the river. Don't miss when visting Ambleside. Wrynose Pass is just off Ambleside, very narrow road passable for 1 vehicle and no guide rail by the sides.
