Ennerdale Boulders

Area Summary

A limited circuit hosting some very good problems can be found down the hard to reach depths of Ennerdale in the western Lakes. For those unfamiliar with the valley it is extremely isolated, by UK standards at least, and takes a fair while to reach even from the nearest sizable town of Whitehaven. On top of this, the valley road terminates at the head of the lake, from which the valley derives its name. As such the only way to reach the end of the coulee (and the boulders) is on foot or by mountain bike.
