Its fell tops, Lakes and Tarns have inspired many an artist and poets work! The many walkways and National Park paths there cater for all abilities to enjoy these beautiful surroundings at any time of the year. I am fortunate enough to live within an hour or so of the Lake District, so it has become my playground of choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many others I have often been tempted by the imposing fells and their craggy summits. The Scafell&#8217;s, Helvellyn, Skiddaw and Blencathra to name a few. Yes I have climbed all of these, and enjoyed their majestic views. But what am I missing in the many valleys and forests down below when I am stood on a summit? There is an abundance of beautiful scenery and wildlife down there that I am missing out on as I eat my sandwich, drink my tea, and catch my breath up there. Today I wanted it to be the valley below that took my breath away, not the climb!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div id=\"block_19e30c1e6dad272b3be03cf19f130feb\" class=\"Inner InnerWaypoint\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"60\" height=\"86\" viewBox=\"0 0 60 86\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n\t<rect x=\"6.00049\" width=\"48\" height=\"48\" rx=\"24\" fill=\"#186571\"\/>\n\t<path opacity=\"0.12\" d=\"M30.0005 25C31.6573 25 33.0005 23.6569 33.0005 22C33.0005 20.3431 31.6573 19 30.0005 19C28.3436 19 27.0005 20.3431 27.0005 22C27.0005 23.6569 28.3436 25 30.0005 25Z\" fill=\"white\"\/>\n\t<path d=\"M30.0005 25C31.6573 25 33.0005 23.6569 33.0005 22C33.0005 20.3431 31.6573 19 30.0005 19C28.3436 19 27.0005 20.3431 27.0005 22C27.0005 23.6569 28.3436 25 30.0005 25Z\" stroke=\"white\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n\t<path d=\"M30.0005 34C34.0005 30 38.0005 26.4183 38.0005 22C38.0005 17.5817 34.4188 14 30.0005 14C25.5822 14 22.0005 17.5817 22.0005 22C22.0005 26.4183 26.0005 30 30.0005 34Z\" stroke=\"white\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n\t<path d=\"M6.44432 78.24C3.60432 78.24 1.42432 76.7 1.02432 74.98L3.70432 74.18C4.04432 75.1 4.94432 75.84 6.28432 75.86C7.70432 75.88 8.68432 75.18 8.68432 74.16C8.68432 73.28 7.94432 72.66 6.70432 72.36L4.88432 71.88C2.82432 71.36 1.42432 70.04 1.42432 67.96C1.42432 65.32 3.24432 63.76 6.44432 63.76C9.12432 63.76 10.7843 65 11.5243 66.96L8.86432 67.78C8.54432 66.88 7.66432 66.14 6.36432 66.14C5.02432 66.14 4.22432 66.8 4.22432 67.9C4.22432 68.78 4.86432 69.26 5.90432 69.52L7.74432 69.98C10.1643 70.58 11.5443 72.24 11.5443 74.1C11.5443 76.6 9.70432 78.24 6.44432 78.24ZM16.4528 78V66.5H12.2528V64H23.3728V66.5H19.1928V78H16.4528ZM33.1834 78L32.0034 74.92H26.2034L25.0234 78H22.1234L27.6434 64H30.5634L36.0834 78H33.1834ZM27.1234 72.5H31.0834L29.1034 67.34L27.1234 72.5ZM37.3607 78V64H42.5607C45.5207 64 47.6007 65.86 47.6007 68.52C47.6007 70.36 46.5407 71.82 44.9207 72.54L48.1607 78H45.0607L42.2007 73.04H40.1007V78H37.3607ZM40.1007 70.54H42.5807C43.8007 70.54 44.7607 69.7 44.7607 68.52C44.7607 67.32 43.8007 66.5 42.4407 66.5H40.1007V70.54ZM52.577 78V66.5H48.377V64H59.497V66.5H55.317V78H52.577Z\" fill=\"#186571\"\/>\n\t<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"InnerWaypoint__heading\">NY 085 153<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"54\" height=\"89\" viewBox=\"0 0 54 89\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<rect x=\"21.0005\" y=\"9\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" rx=\"6\" fill=\"#79716B\"\/>\n<rect x=\"21.0005\" y=\"9\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" rx=\"6\" stroke=\"white\" stroke-width=\"4\"\/>\n<path d=\"M25.7505 87C25.7505 87.6904 26.3101 88.25 27.0005 88.25C27.6908 88.25 28.2505 87.6904 28.2505 87L25.7505 87ZM25.7505 23L25.7505 25L28.2505 25L28.2505 23L25.7505 23ZM25.7505 29L25.7505 33L28.2505 33L28.2505 29L25.7505 29ZM25.7505 37L25.7505 41L28.2505 41L28.2505 37L25.7505 37ZM25.7505 45L25.7505 49L28.2505 49L28.2505 45L25.7505 45ZM25.7505 53L25.7505 57L28.2505 57L28.2505 53L25.7505 53ZM25.7505 61L25.7505 65L28.2505 65L28.2505 61L25.7505 61ZM25.7505 69L25.7505 73L28.2505 73L28.2505 69L25.7505 69ZM25.7505 77L25.7505 81L28.2505 81L28.2505 77L25.7505 77ZM25.7505 85L25.7505 87L28.2505 87L28.2505 85L25.7505 85Z\" fill=\"#E7E5E4\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/components\/phpthumbof\/cache\/photo1-processed.f358dcb3a1cf35814fef4b657db6f398.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/components\/phpthumbof\/cache\/photo2-processed.ad7112de47096da8e7bfe1b205b6dd2e.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/components\/phpthumbof\/cache\/photo3-processed.58c9b83afc04e49bc892472f881b2445.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So today I met up with Annette an instagram friend who was also keen to tackle the long walk along Ennerdale Valley. We met at 10am at Bleach Green car park where parking is free ( I love this route already).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The information board here next to the main gate shows a map of the different walks you can do around Ennerdale Water and beyond. Handily these are colour coded depending on length, all are low level though. Distance varies from 2 miles to 8 miles. The walk we were doing today is not on the information board as it is the full length of the valley and back which is 15 miles approx! The beauty of this walk is there are many footbridges across the River Liza, so once past Ennerdale Water you can make this as long or short as you are comfortable with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/components\/phpthumbof\/cache\/photo4-processed.14ec007ac1b016c43a1754fdd29ca4a4.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/components\/phpthumbof\/cache\/photo5-processed.14ec007ac1b016c43a1754fdd29ca4a4.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/components\/phpthumbof\/cache\/photo6-processed.14ec007ac1b016c43a1754fdd29ca4a4.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/components\/phpthumbof\/cache\/photo7-processed.1d8ed2a9d45f62e31b167947bfc9e8fc.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After a quick introduction for Annette and I, and a curious sniff for Rocky and Tasha (our dogs), we were on our way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided we would get more enjoyment out of the walk if we tackled it in an anti clockwise direction, there was no real logic to this, it just felt appropriate on the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The section of footpath here as you walk along the lakeside on Anglers Crag is the only real rocky section of the walk, and it does rise slightly as you follow the path away from the waters edge. Once around the Crag it is then a straight walk along the well marked footpath to the end of the lake and the beginning of the plantations. Once you enter the Ling Mell plantations it is a well define track that you follow through the woods. Take time here to have a look at the many pretty streams and cascading waterfalls that run down into the river. They really are a beautiful sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Annette and I were in full stride now as we talked about our shared passion for the great outdoors, and the benefits it brings to your health and well being. The dogs seem to be enjoying themselves equally as they chased each other through the woods and streams, jumping in to the refreshing waters to cool down (as nice as that looked it is still too cold for humans! Or Me!) As you walk through the woodlands, every now and then you come to a clearing in the trees, and the huge mountains that encompass this valley would remind you of their part in this beautiful setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div id=\"block_3e7af3fcf92a803c811f68b72889cc2a\" class=\"Inner InnerWaypoint\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"InnerWaypoint__heading\">NY 122 138 4.25km<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"54\" height=\"89\" viewBox=\"0 0 54 89\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<rect x=\"21.0005\" y=\"9\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" rx=\"6\" fill=\"#79716B\"\/>\n<rect x=\"21.0005\" y=\"9\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" rx=\"6\" stroke=\"white\" stroke-width=\"4\"\/>\n<path d=\"M25.7505 87C25.7505 87.6904 26.3101 88.25 27.0005 88.25C27.6908 88.25 28.2505 87.6904 28.2505 87L25.7505 87ZM25.7505 23L25.7505 25L28.2505 25L28.2505 23L25.7505 23ZM25.7505 29L25.7505 33L28.2505 33L28.2505 29L25.7505 29ZM25.7505 37L25.7505 41L28.2505 41L28.2505 37L25.7505 37ZM25.7505 45L25.7505 49L28.2505 49L28.2505 45L25.7505 45ZM25.7505 53L25.7505 57L28.2505 57L28.2505 53L25.7505 53ZM25.7505 61L25.7505 65L28.2505 65L28.2505 61L25.7505 61ZM25.7505 69L25.7505 73L28.2505 73L28.2505 69L25.7505 69ZM25.7505 77L25.7505 81L28.2505 81L28.2505 77L25.7505 77ZM25.7505 85L25.7505 87L28.2505 87L28.2505 85L25.7505 85Z\" fill=\"#E7E5E4\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/components\/phpthumbof\/cache\/photo8-processed.f358dcb3a1cf35814fef4b657db6f398.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/components\/phpthumbof\/cache\/photo9-processed.ad7112de47096da8e7bfe1b205b6dd2e.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/components\/phpthumbof\/cache\/photo10-processed.58c9b83afc04e49bc892472f881b2445.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div id=\"block_3ef4c6c8fde1443c02328f8599236a12\" class=\"Inner InnerWaypoint\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"InnerWaypoint__heading\">NY 175 131 10km<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"54\" height=\"89\" viewBox=\"0 0 54 89\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<rect x=\"21.0005\" y=\"9\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" rx=\"6\" fill=\"#79716B\"\/>\n<rect x=\"21.0005\" y=\"9\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" rx=\"6\" stroke=\"white\" stroke-width=\"4\"\/>\n<path d=\"M25.7505 87C25.7505 87.6904 26.3101 88.25 27.0005 88.25C27.6908 88.25 28.2505 87.6904 28.2505 87L25.7505 87ZM25.7505 23L25.7505 25L28.2505 25L28.2505 23L25.7505 23ZM25.7505 29L25.7505 33L28.2505 33L28.2505 29L25.7505 29ZM25.7505 37L25.7505 41L28.2505 41L28.2505 37L25.7505 37ZM25.7505 45L25.7505 49L28.2505 49L28.2505 45L25.7505 45ZM25.7505 53L25.7505 57L28.2505 57L28.2505 53L25.7505 53ZM25.7505 61L25.7505 65L28.2505 65L28.2505 61L25.7505 61ZM25.7505 69L25.7505 73L28.2505 73L28.2505 69L25.7505 69ZM25.7505 77L25.7505 81L28.2505 81L28.2505 77L25.7505 77ZM25.7505 85L25.7505 87L28.2505 87L28.2505 85L25.7505 85Z\" fill=\"#E7E5E4\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n<p>Pay particular attention to Pillar and Pillar rock as you pass. You cant help but marvel at this aggressive looking but enticing array of rock. Pillar Rock is said to be the birthplace of Rock climbing in the UK, and it is easy to see what draws daredevils to its steep flanks (if only I didn&#8217;t have the dog with me). I jest of course, I prefer my feet firmly routed to the ground! As you continue on Easterly you then get your first view of the end of the valley in the shape of another lakeland giant, Great Gable (another climbers favourite).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were soon out of the woods and heading towards Black Sail Hut (YHA) for a rest and a brew. Ennerdale valley is undergoing a transformation to return it to its `Wildest` state and therefore you will never find traffic here. The hut can only be accessed on foot or mountain bike. As we had hardly seen anyone else so far on our walk we expected the hut to be empty. As we approached it became evident that this was not the case. There was a good 20 or 30 walkers\/cyclists there all with the same idea, to rest and enjoy a brew in the warm afternoon sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/components\/phpthumbof\/cache\/photo11-processed.14ec007ac1b016c43a1754fdd29ca4a4.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/components\/phpthumbof\/cache\/photo12-processed.14ec007ac1b016c43a1754fdd29ca4a4.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/components\/phpthumbof\/cache\/photo13-processed.14ec007ac1b016c43a1754fdd29ca4a4.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/components\/phpthumbof\/cache\/photo14-processed.1d8ed2a9d45f62e31b167947bfc9e8fc.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div id=\"block_5c3f8095b12085a66836b47d02e9cbe6\" class=\"Inner InnerWaypoint\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"InnerWaypoint__heading\">NY 195 123 12.5km<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"54\" height=\"89\" viewBox=\"0 0 54 89\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<rect x=\"21.0005\" y=\"9\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" rx=\"6\" fill=\"#79716B\"\/>\n<rect x=\"21.0005\" y=\"9\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" rx=\"6\" stroke=\"white\" stroke-width=\"4\"\/>\n<path d=\"M25.7505 87C25.7505 87.6904 26.3101 88.25 27.0005 88.25C27.6908 88.25 28.2505 87.6904 28.2505 87L25.7505 87ZM25.7505 23L25.7505 25L28.2505 25L28.2505 23L25.7505 23ZM25.7505 29L25.7505 33L28.2505 33L28.2505 29L25.7505 29ZM25.7505 37L25.7505 41L28.2505 41L28.2505 37L25.7505 37ZM25.7505 45L25.7505 49L28.2505 49L28.2505 45L25.7505 45ZM25.7505 53L25.7505 57L28.2505 57L28.2505 53L25.7505 53ZM25.7505 61L25.7505 65L28.2505 65L28.2505 61L25.7505 61ZM25.7505 69L25.7505 73L28.2505 73L28.2505 69L25.7505 69ZM25.7505 77L25.7505 81L28.2505 81L28.2505 77L25.7505 77ZM25.7505 85L25.7505 87L28.2505 87L28.2505 85L25.7505 85Z\" fill=\"#E7E5E4\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n<p>We chatted to many of them and exchanged our adventures stories from the day so far.

We all have that same sparkle in our eyes and speak passionately about our days. I do love that! We could have sat here for the remainder of the day and basked in the surroundings, but alas we were only half way through our walk. We packed away our flasks, rounded up the dogs and headed on our way for the return leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were soon back in the woods on the Northern side of the Liza river, and the views back down the valley were just as amazing as on the way in.

We stopped for a quick break and for the dogs to cool off. Taking this opportunity to take lots more photos of the lake and the views around us. To summarise, this has to go down as one of my favourite walks in the Lake District. The valley is uniquely wild and home to hundreds of species, although we only saw sheep and swans today, it is also home to the native red squirrel (maybe next time i&#8217;ll see one?) The vast amount of Oak and Birch trees here are a perfect environment for the thriving wildlife. It is also a nice place for us Humans to visit to de-stress!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
