Gaynors is a family owned and run business in Ambleside - the heart of the Lake District. With a dedication to providing the best possible customer experience, the store has grown into what many consider to be the best Outdoor Retailer in the UK.
Store 1 is a Department Store with each department offering an unparalleled choice and depth of product unavailable anywhere in the UK, with fantastic and knowledgeable staff, and in a location that can’t be beaten, Ambleside.
The store is set out over 5 huge floors with departments for Walking Shoes (about 700 pairs on display), Walking Boots about (1400 pairs on display), Base Layers, Clothing, Waterproofs, Insulation and Ski, Multi-Sport, and a Clearance Outlet where everything is at least 30% off RRP.
Opened officially in 2009, the new store was build to expand our Camping and Equipment offering. Covering 10,000 square feet, we’ve created the ultimate collection of “best in class” product ranges from the very best Brands like, Garmin, Memory Map, Sat Map, Silva, Ordinance Survey, Vango, Camping Gaz, Gelert, The North Face, Berghaus, Lowe Alpine, Camelbak, Vaude, Suunto, Oakley, Gerber Leatherman, Maglite, Victorinox, Thermarest, Mountain Equipment, Shewee! And many many others. Our rucksack display is considered to be the most comprehensive in Europe, which gives some indication of the standards we are trying to work to.
Downstairs has up to 40 tents pitched so that customers can see the tent that’s right for them – and we’ll pitch one for you that isn’t already up on request – so that there aren’t any surprises for the camper arriving at the campsite for the first time.
If it’s worth having to use in the British Outdoors it’s in our new store!
