One of the oldest hostelries in Ambleside at the bottom of the infamous Struggle leading up to Kirkstone Pass with a good range of very well kept and served Robinson's ales. An exceptionally high-quality traditional pub with a cosy feel: real fire, bench seating, historical rock-climbing photos decorating the walls. An attractive snug is popular for families with children. All areas are regularly packed with jolly locals and students from the nearby university facility, mingling with visiting walkers and climbers. The Rule has featured in the Guide since 1977 as a local fixture.
Historic Interest
Built c1683, a multi-roomed pub situated close to the main car park. The main bar has old fixed seating and a late 50s/early 60s fireplace but the bar counter and back look like 1970s replacements. The small room on the left has more fixed seating and bell pushes but difficult to age. Front right small room has leatherette fixed seating which looks 1960s. Small bar at the rear right looked like a 1970s addition with a pair of 1945 Gaskell & Chambers handpumps but was removed some years ago.
