Ennerdale Water

Highlight • Viewpoint

Ennerdale Water is the most westerly lake in the Lake District National Park. It formed in the depression caused by the glaciers. It's about 150 ft (46 m) at its deepest point.
It's normally a bit quieter than the other lakes and has a brilliant lakeside trail all around it, perfect if you want a fun but fairly flat run.
Head to Ennerdale Bridge for post run refreshments.

Ennerdale Water Lakeside Path

Highlight • Trail

This is such a beautiful beginning to what at times can be a gruelling ride. The trail along the north bank of Ennerdale Water is flat, peaceful and sheltered - a perfect place for a wild camp. It's best to make the most of it as it's the one of the only level sections around here!

The Gather Café

Highlight • Cafe

The Gather is a very comfortable & welcoming cafe, shop and exhibition space. It’s staffed by volunteers and run as a not-for-profit community resource. Places like this can help to keep tiny villages alive as functioning communities instead of just des-res dormitories for the wealthy. If you’re visiting Ennerdale Water, make sure you stop in at The Gather for your lunch, and make a real contribution to keeping Lake District communities alive.

The Fox & Hounds Pub, Ennerdale Bridge

Highlight • Pub

A classic country pub with two roaring log fires, a beer garden, fine ales and traditional pub grub. If you've taken your hound for a jaunt in the surrounding fells, you're in luck: the owners actively encourage you to bring your dog. If staying overnight in Ennerdale, the pub has three spacious en-suite rooms.
