Far Moor End

Far Moor End holiday cottage offers self catering accommodation in an idyllic location in 22 acres of private grounds within the Lake District National Park, just a 5 minute walk from the shores of Ennerdale Water and only a mile from the village of Ennerdale Bridge, with its two pubs.

Up to 16 people can be accommodated at Far Moor End and there is plenty of space and rooms to spread out, as well as a fantastic dining room with a vaulted oak ceiling for everyone to congregate in.

The grounds include 15 acres of woodlands with paths (please note that the woods are sometimes off limits when there is tree felling or bridge reconstruction), two paddocks of approximately two acres each, a wildflower meadow of approximately three acres. There are also three wildlife ponds and Far Moor End has a long frontage on the River Ehen which is a site of Special Scientific Interest (S.S.S.I.).

The grounds surrounding Far Moor End attract an abundance of wildlife, including red squirrels. The unspoiled, tranquil valley of Ennderdale is an ideal starting point for hundreds of walks - from gentle lakeside strolls to energetic mountain hikes (the views of Ennerdale and Buttermere lakes from the high fells are a stunning reward); rock climbing (a good base from which to approach Pillar); mountain biking in Ennerdale forest and fishing in the lake (permit required); pony trekking and Go-karting (available nearby).

The market towns of Cockermouth and Whitehaven are only a short distance away and the popular town of Keswick is only half an hour's drive away. The historic village of St Bees is also close at hand with a long pebble and sand beach and its famous cliffs with thousands of nesting sea birds.
