One of the remotest locations in the Lake District, Ennerdale's wild beauty is second to none. A green and rugged valley watched over by the dramatic fells at its head and guarded by the gentle waves of Ennerdale Water at its entrance, Ennerdale Bridge accommodation promises a tranquil base for couples, friends and families with a penchant for the outdoors.
Why Ennerdale Holiday Cottages?
Ennerdale is a special sanctuary for those wishing to explore the Lakes away from the crowds, and was beloved by legendary walker and author, Alfred Wainwright. Its minimal roads only add to the sense of blissful immersion in the peaceful great outdoors. Whether you want to tackle the heights of the fells and explore the dense woodland or wander around the shores of Ennerdale and along the banks of the River Liza, there are over 30 miles of public footpaths and tracks to discover. Rock climbers simply have to visit the famous, towering outcrop of Pillar Rock, which dominates the valley's skyline. Watersports enthusiasts will benefit from dipping their toes in the deep, glacial lake of Ennerdale Water, where canoes and kayaks are welcome. Most importantly, don't forget to reward all your efforts with a thirst-quenching drink and a hearty pub meal in one of three welcoming eateries in the village!
