Ennerdale is a remote valley located in the western part of the Lake District National Park, in Cumbria, England. It is home to Ennerdale Water, the most westerly of the region's lakes, as well as a number of towering fells, including Pillar and Great Gable. The area is part of the Wild Ennerdale project, a pioneering scheme to allow the landscape to evolve naturally with minimal human intervention. As a result, Ennerdale remains one of the most unspoilt and least developed areas in the Lake District, offering a sense of tranquillity and isolation that is truly unique.
Ennerdale offers a range of outdoor activities. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful walk around Ennerdale Water, or take on more challenging hikes up the surrounding fells. The valley is home to England's tallest tree, a Douglas Fir located in Ennerdale's extensive forests. There are also several miles of cycling trails, and the River Liza that flows through the valley offers opportunities for angling. Due to the valley's remote location, it's also one of the best places in England for stargazing, with minimal light pollution.
The remote location of Ennerdale makes it a perfect base for exploring the quieter side of the Lake District. The nearby lake of Crummock Water and the charming Buttermere Valley offer further opportunities for outdoor activities. A short drive away are the towns of Whitehaven, with its historic Georgian architecture, and Cockermouth, the birthplace of William Wordsworth. Further afield, visitors can explore the bustling market town of Keswick, the picturesque Derwentwater, and the majestic Honister Pass. Despite its secluded feel, Ennerdale's natural beauty and tranquil charm make it an excellent destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat in the Lake District.
