About

The Whitehaven to Ennerdale cycle path transports you from Cleator Moor to the tranquil shores of Ennerdale Water with increasingly splendid views of the craggy fells that surround it. The return leg brings you through the pretty village of Ennerdale Bridge with its attractive family friendly pubs and small shop. Then it’s onwards along quiet lanes, back to the little hump back bridge over the River Ehen, where there’s a grassy riverbank and seating area, and finally climb up to Wath Brow and back to Cleator Moor.

Start/finish: Mining sculptures in Cleator Moor Market Square

Parking: Car park in the Market Square

Grade: Medium-Hard. Mix of road and cycle path
