The town of Ambleside and the surrounding area is one of the gems of our beautiful Lake District. Serving as a base for hiking, mountaineering and mountain biking, there are activities for everyone but, for the sailors amongst us, what can be nicer than taking to the water?
This 500 piece jigsaw Summer in Ambleside by Derek Roberts is packaged in a smart, compact box – the perfect gift for an avid puzzler! As with all Gibsons Jigsaw Puzzle, the beautifully illustrated pieces are made from the highest quality 100% recycled board and are therefore a pleasure to work with again and again.
Derek Roberts was born in Birkenhead, 1945, and has had a fascination with all things mechanical from a very young age. After training at Birkenhead Art School in the 1960s he was accepted to work as a car stylist with Ford Motor Company.
