Ennerdale Water Lake District National Park Cumbria England UK glacial lake cattle grazing
This is an illustration from ‘The Beauty of The English Lakes’ selected by William Hodgson. First Published in 1990. Ennerdale Water is the most westerly lake in the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England. It is a glacial lake, with a maximum depth of 45 metres (150 ft), and at 700 to 1,500 metres (1/2 mile to a mile) wide and kilometres (2½ miles) is one of the smallest lakes in the area. The small village of Ennerdale Bridge lies to the west of the pubs and a few houses, it is a typical small Cumbrian village. It is close to the port of Whitehaven, the town of Cleator Moor and the village of Cleator. The lake, owned by United Utilities, is both a reservoir serving over 30,000 customers daily and a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its lake-shore habitats. Due to the Ennerdale valley's remote location, the lack of a public road up the valley and its management by the Forestry Commission, the National Trust and United Utilities, Ennerdale Water is not as much visited by hikers, tourists and cyclists as other lakes in the National Park, and thus has not been spoiled by construction, activity on the lake or the trappings of intensive tourism.
