Record of Pond District Tourism

Elterwater near Ambleside, is a superb place to curl up and take pleasure in the wonderful Lakeland scenery. Elterwater is a charming village is in center of the English Seas, ultimately situated between the picturesque Good Langdale and Small Langdale valleys, and is the right area for your River Section holiday.

The Lakes was chosen as the most lovely invest Britain and the scenery is breathtaking. When you yourself have never been you won't overlook your first visit, and when you yourself have been, you probably could keep going back. 
Whether you desire to hill walk, stone climb or struggle in the Great Langdales, meander to Grasmere to Wordsworth's house, drive out to the Ponds or Visitor centres, cruise on the lakes or take a cruise, consider the quaint neighborhoods and shops, or simply stroll right down to the local village Inn, Elterwater is a very place to keep for the Sea Region holiday and you can be assured of a soothing, calm and comfortable stay in a single of the very most lovely areas on earth.

The typical Pond Area Holiday Cottage is likely to be record and rock built, oozing with figure and attraction, and there's a large selection in lots of common areas and villages such as for example Ambleside, Windermere, Keswick, Grasmere and Glenridding to name but a few. And you will see some outstanding cottages for your stay. Nevertheless the quaint community, with one principal road and one pub, lined with a row or two of rock cottages, for me, Elterwater needs to be the treasure in the Sea District.

The Seas features a great number of mountains and crags and you is likely to be spoiled for choice during your stay. There are plenty of guidebooks, probably the most famous being Alfred Wainwrights, and an excellent source of channels is published in the walking publications such as for instance TGO. But here certainly are a few cases to whet your appetite. If you should be a skilled hillwalker you'll realize that Anvil Cottage Near Sawrey is the right position for Lake Area Hill Hikes right from the entranceway, with the Langdale Pikes a brief walk away. Occur the Langdales between the Great Langdale and Little Langdale Valleys, from Elterwater there is a number of channels up onto the Langdales for strolling, hiking and scrambling. Langdale Pikes, Harrison Stickle, Pike of Stickle, Bend Dropped, Loughrigg and Crinkle Crags are only a number of the popular Pond Area mountains within walking distance. It is also merely a small drive from Elterwater to different major dropped areas such as for instance High Road, Helvellyn, ScaFell Pike, Skiddaw and Blencathra.

We like Elterwater and one of our favorite fellwalking paths is a struggle up Jack's Rake up onto Pavey Ark, a traverse around Large Raise and back home to Elterwater for a well attained pint in the Britannia Inn.

Additionally, there are many local, gentler walks across to Grasmere and about Chapel Stile also, if you like a more sedate lowland stroll. A walk down Langdale Beck from Elterwater to look at the Lake offers one of the very spectacular opinions in the River Area and is only 10 moments go from Elterwater. Skelwith waterfall can also be a favorite mild trip from Elterwater.

The common mountains of Helvellyn (from Glenridding or Patterdale) or ScaFell Pike (highest in England) from Wasdale Head are typical excellent days out for experienced Hillwalkers and are good favourites in the Lakes. Numerous guides can be found if you need help planning routes.
