Discover the tranquil beauty of Ennerdale Water with this engaging 10.9km loop through Cumbria. This route offers a genuine feel for the wild, with varied terrain that includes both muddy and rocky sections, leading you past stunning lakeside views and natural woodland. The path largely follows the shoreline, providing a constant connection to this unspoiled Cumbrian gem.

While mostly flat, a short scrambling section at Anglers Crag adds an adventurous element, rewarding you with spectacular panoramas but requiring caution due to a steep drop to the lake.
