    Hiking

    Elterwater is a village in the English Lake District. The village lies 800 metres north-west of the lake Elter Water, from which it takes its name. Both lie in the valley of Great Langdale.
    Tourism is an important source of income and the village is popular with all kinds of visitors, especially walkers, due to its proximity to many of the Lake District's most popular fells.
