St Mary's Church, Ennerdale

Highlight • Historical Site

Designed by Charles Eaglesfield of Maryport, St Mary's is a lovely church. Wordsworth mentions the building in his poem 'The Brothers'.

The church bell dates from before the Reformation and on it is inscribed 'Santa Bega ora pro nobis', which translates to St Bega pray for us. Bega was the pious daughter of an Irish chieftain who fled Ireland for Cumbria to escape a forced marriage to a Norse prince. The St Bega's Way long-distance trail passes by the church on its way to St Bega's church by Bassenthwaite Lake.

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.
