A calm lake hidden in a forested valley, Loweswater is a beautiful stretch of water which is often overlooked by Lake District visitors. Owned by the National Trust, Loweswater is the only lake in the Lake District that drains towards the center of Lakeland. Keep a look out for rare red squirrels who have made their home amongst the coniferous surrounding the peaceful waters.

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.
