There's a car park close by which is a 5-10 minute walk maximum from the lake. You can hear a waterfall close by which im sure you could find easily if you have the time to go looking. Also was really quiet here so a great spot for photos. This particular spot is very windy though on a cold day so would recommend visiting on a warm day. · via Google [Chris Clarke](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/118166602522934534305/reviews) ★★★★★ Excellent day had hiking around Ennerdale water. Absolutely stunning views. Paths on the south west area can by tricky to negotiate becoming more of a rock climb to get over and around. No toilet facilities, nearest pub is at Ennerdale Bridge · via Google [Caroline Eastes](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115096589090568596280/reviews) ★★★★★ Fabulous day, great walk.
