Force Cafe & Terrace

A contemporary café near the Stock Ghyll Force walk, serving brunch, lunch, cakes and coffee with a scenic terrace above Ambleside.

Force Cafe & Terrace sits at Kelsick Grammar on Stockghyll Lane, making it a natural food stop before or after the walk to Stock Ghyll Force. The café serves brunch and lunch dishes, cakes and coffee, with a terrace that takes advantage of the elevated position above Ambleside.The location is slightly removed from the busiest central streets but still close enough to reach on foot, and it works well for walkers looking to turn a waterfall visit into a longer break. Evening pizza service may operate on selected days. Opening hours and evening service can change, so check the live information before planning around a particular meal.
