Boot Village

Highlight • Settlement

This charming white-washed village in the Eskdale Valley sits at the bottom of the famous and much feared Hardknott Pass.

In Boot you'll find a characterful country inn (the Brook House Inn), Post Office, the Eskdale Campsite and Eskdale Mill can be found over the pretty 17th-century packhorse bridge over Whillan Beck. Here you can visit one of the rare two wheel water corn mills.

Burnmoor Tarn

Highlight • Viewpoint

Pass by Burnmoor Tarn on one of the many tracks across Eskdale Moor.

This unassuming tarn is one of the largest completely natural tarns in the Lakes, which flows into the River Esk. You can find the former fishing lodge of Burnmoor Lodge nearby on the southern shore.

Believe it or not, the tarn has a maximum depth of 43 feet (13 m).

Wast Water Scenic Road

Highlight • Trail

Remote and ever so picturesque. It's worth taking the northern road to the Lake from Nether Wasdale and then riding along the Lake before heading back toward Eskdale.

Tip by

55.7 km

Loweswater

Highlight • Lake

A calm lake hidden in a forested valley, Loweswater is a beautiful stretch of water which is often overlooked by Lake District visitors. Owned by the National Trust, Loweswater is the only lake in the Lake District that drains towards the center of Lakeland. Keep a look out for rare red squirrels who have made their home amongst the coniferous surrounding the peaceful waters.
