About Us

Located in the heart of the Lake District, Ambleside Sheepskins is a leading UK specialist in premium sheepskins and luxury leather goods, deeply rooted in the heritage and landscape of Cumbria.

From our base in Ambleside, we offer one of the largest and most diverse collections of natural sheepskins in the UK. This includes the country’s largest selection of Herdwick sheepskins, an iconic Lake District breed, alongside cowhides, reindeer hides, and other carefully sourced natural products. Every skin is individually hand selected for its quality, texture, and character, ensuring no two pieces are ever the same.

Our products combine natural beauty with everyday practicality. Renowned for their warmth, durability, and comfort, sheepskins are perfect for homes, hospitality settings, outdoor seating, and luxury interiors. Whether draped over furniture, used as a rug, or styled as a feature piece, they bring timeless, natural elegance to any space.

Alongside our hide collection, we offer a carefully curated range of premium leather and wool products, including handbags, jackets, slippers, and accessories. Designed in Cumbria and inspired by the Lake District, these pieces reflect traditional craftsmanship and are made to be worn and enjoyed for years to come.

Our flagship shop and warehouse on Compston Road allows us to hold thousands of skins in stock. Customers are welcome to visit our retail shop to browse a wide selection on display, while our larger warehouse stock can be accessed by request. For those looking for something specific or wanting a more personalised experience, we are also happy to offer private appointments where we can guide you through our full range.

We welcome visitors from across the UK and beyond, while also supplying customers nationwide and internationally.

Founded in 2007 by local craftsman Rick Clark, Ambleside Sheepskins remains committed to quality, authenticity, and straightforward, reliable service.

Whether you are searching for a unique gift, a statement piece for your home, or a genuine product inspired by the Lake District, Ambleside Sheepskins offers natural luxury with a true sense of place.
