WALK HERE

Follow Walk 16 in this issue for a great walk to the summit of Crag Fell.

GETTING HERE

Ennerdale is one of the quietest areas of the Lake District because it’s so remote from anywhere except the Cumbrian coast. The start of our walk is a 20-minute drive from the nearest major population centres, Cockermouth and Whitehaven.

WHERE TO EAT, DRINK & STAY

The village of Ennerdale Bridge has two fine pubs. The Fox and Hounds (01946 861373, foxandhoundsinn.org) has doubles with breakfast from £105 and main meals like ham, egg and chips for £8.95. The Shepherds Arms (01946 861249, shepherdsarms.com) has doubles with breakfast for £112 and main meals like steak and ale pie for £12.50. And Hollins Farm itself is planning to open new accommodation this year – keep an eye on @lizzieweir on Instagram for updates.
