Whether you live within the sight of Pillar, in Cumbria or are visiting the Lake District on holiday Ennerdale is a great place to explore and enjoy a sense of wildness away from the trappings of today's modern society. Ennerdale Valley provides a wealth of destinations for the visitor to explore, enjoy and take home as memories of one of England's wildest valley

Please note that following the November 2008 storms a number of routes have suffered erosion. This is especially visible along the Liza Path between the bottom of Lingmell Sheep Walk and Moss Dub. The river has significantly changed its course along this section and the walked path is no longer visible. The forest road provides the best alternative route. The Wild Ennerdale partners and Lake District National Park Authority are working on a solution to this problem.

Ennerdale is situated in West Cumbria around 10 miles inland of the coast at Whitehaven. See multimap or our location map or read more about Ennerdale from our Stewardship Plan.
