A walk round Ennerdale Water has so much appeal because it is quiet and unspoilt. On all lakeland walks the scenery is superb and this is no different, but the feeling of remoteness and inaccessibility adds a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Walk<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A walk round Ennerdale Water is probably the most satisfying lakeside walk within the Lake District. \u00a0The path along the back of Ullswater<\/a> is more picturesque but the remoteness of Ennerdale gives the walk an edge not found near the more popular lakes. Ennerdale also has the advantages in that it is an ideal size for a full circuit (7.5 miles) and there is excellent, paths\/tracks that stick close to the shoreline throughout. No detours inland to avoid private land. It is easy to walk along and clear to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The section on the south side is better than that to the north. I would suggest starting here as it is best enjoyed before any tiredness sets in. Initially there is a little scramble up Anglers Tarn before the path follows a largely flat contour towards the head of the lake. The views are superb looking up the long valley of Ennerdale. On the north side return along the north banks is rather blocked off by trees. Ennerdale is a reservoir for some of the West Cumbrian towns. However this has not affected its beauty and\u00a0appearance. A visit to Ennerdale Water is certainly worth the extra effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommend<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A late summer evening when the sun is low to the west is the best time of the year to do this walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A walk round Ennerdale Water is one of my 25 favourite walks<\/a> in the Lake District<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigation Tips at Ennerdale Water<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Soon after starting the walk and meeting the shoreline an obvious path heads up to Anglers Crag. An alternative sticks closer to the shoreline. I prefer the Anglers Crag route. However it is not an insignificant climb. The route via the lake is a little rough in places. Whatever you choose the going is straightforward after the crag. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A walk round Ennerdale Water has so much appeal because it is quiet and unspoilt.
