Tucked away in the stunning Langdale Valley, Elterwater is a picture-perfect Lake District village, known for its peaceful setting, charming stone cottages, and the beautiful tarn that gives the village its name. With the dramatic Langdale Pikes rising in the background and riverside walks right on the doorstep, it’s a favourite spot for walkers and photographers alike.
Elterwater is just a short walk or drive from Chapel Stile and easily reached from Ambleside via the A593 and B5343. The nearest train station is at Windermere, around 8 miles away, with bus and taxi connections into the valley.
From here, you can enjoy gentle strolls along the River Brathay to Elterwater Tarn, more challenging hikes into the surrounding fells, or simply relax and take in the views. The friendly local pub and the nearby Eltermere Hotel offer welcoming spots to eat and drink after a day exploring.
With its idyllic scenery, quiet charm, and easy access to both Langdale and the central Lakes, Elterwater is an ideal base for enjoying the very best of the Lake District.
