Outdoor Clothing And Equipment Shops in Ambleside, Cumbria

“I was back in the Epicentre this weekend, this time for ladies' boots. Christie absolutely nailed it for knowledge, advice, and customer service. Another great experience and satisfied customer. Well worth the trip (we travelled up to Ambleside just to visit the Epicentre).We always get what we need here, and I don't remember ever being dissatisfied. Staff are always helpful and knowledgeable. There are some things you can not do online, so I always start at the Epicentre. Sophie was brilliant helping my son find a pair of walking shoes and the right insoles for my daughter.”

“I was very impressed with the quality of the customer service and product knowledge that Jay offered. I highly recommend shopping at Blacks when you are in Ambleside.”

“A gem of a shop designed for those with a live of the outdoors. It is such a well stocked shop full of mountain walking equipment. The staff are some of the best I have talked to about walking holidays, rental gear, kit lists. They have loads of holidays for guided walking over some of the most extreme and stunning places on the planet.It's a rare find. Apparently people fly in from Dubai just to get advice from the professionals in this store.”

“We stopped here for some swimming gear and the staff were very helpful. It was different to ones we have visited in London as they were split across two sites and there was a large variety of all types of gear. To be honest we visited some other shops and should have come here so best to visit this before you head off into the town for your gear needs. Staff were lovely and very helpful.”

“Came back to Rohan store in Ambleside, to exchange a pair of men's walking pants (bags) had telephoned a few days earlier and said pants were ready to collect, our contact was deputy Manager Ian, what a lovely jolly chap, easy going and easy to talk to, upselling in abundance, as s t-shirt and cotton jacket purchased, and a new pair of walking pants for me, all in all a pleasure having Ian as our mentor today....and well worth the trip from Liverpool....keep up the good work Ian, all the best Lynne & Mike”

“Tog24 Ambleside has a lot of reduced prices and a very nice bird shirt. There are 2 floors to this shop and more coats than I could count. The staff are a little bit friendly but could have better people skills and customer service.”

“Lots of stock for a small space but they are limited by wall & floor space! very helpful lads on the till, we were in a rush to find something & they knew exactly where it was as soon as we asked, and had a good joke with them during checkout.”
