Great wild swimming spot

There is a footpath on both sides of Brothers Water & you can access the shoreline on both, but the west shore is where the main path is and has the best access. Here, you can access the beautiful shoreline from the main path, walk along, and then back to the path. It is possible to climb up the bank back to the main path in places, but this is more technical and is not an official path.

(As of June 2024) Rather than park at Cow Bridge car park, which charges around £9 for the day, you can park in Hartsop (NY 40962 13092, East: 340962 North: 513092) , which is currently free. Although they'd very much appreciate a donation to the local primary school (cash box & Q R code available). You can also park at Sykeside Camping Park/Brothers Water Inn for £5 per day.

The perfect car park to go around the smallest lake in the lake district

Good paths and bacon bun at the campsite

Car park with approx 20 spaces, provides easy access to Brothers Water and Hartsop. Donation box to provide a contribution towards the car parking 'fee'.

A fellside pub, open every day (apart from Christmas day) and ready to welcome walkers, climbers and other outdoorsy types. Good food, beer, drinks and snacks as expected. Nice places to sit inside or outside. They also have camping and rooms available.

picnic bench tucked in by the car park but is next to the road so can be a little noisy

path forks away from road, look behind to the view 👌

Just off the beaten track.

Very pretty however last bit of walk doesn't have much of a path

Tucked quietly between the Eastern and Far Eastern Fells of the Lake District, at the northern foot of the Kirkstone Pass, is Brothers Water. This small lake is surrounded by green Wainwright fells, grazing herdwicks and simply gorgeous scenery. Nearby Sykeside has a variety of accommodation options, whilst refreshment awaits at the Brotherswater Inn. The small village of Hartsop is also a good base for many adventurous hikes in the fells.

Lovely ascent via Scandale Pass
