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 Bridge accommodation?
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!
