Chapel Stile is a village in Cumbria, England, located approximately 5 miles northwest of Ambleside, within the Langdale valley. It contains a school, church, the Co-op and the Wainwrights' Inn (formerly The Langdale Hotel), and a quarry is located in the vicinity.
Couples who choose to get married at the church are traditionally 'tied in' during the service. The local children tie up the church gates and the newlyweds are only released when coins (of small denomination) are thrown to said children.
The Co-op has been established for well over a hundred years. Chapel Stile also gives access to the Langdale Pikes, Pike O’ Stickle and Harrison Stickle. Other notable peaks are Pavey Ark, Bow Fell and Pike O'Blisco.
