Elterwater is a pretty village in the Langdale valley which is about 5 miles from Ambleside. We consider the Langdale valley to be the heart of the Lake District - this is where all the lumpy stuff is, as well as the highest peak in England - Scafel Pike. There are fantastic views and excellent walking right from your doorstep. There is a very good local pub called The Britannia, and a lovely little cocktail bar and restaurant called Lanty Slees, just a short walk away, as well as posher food at the Eltermere Inn Hotel to spoil yourself, and a local cafe called Slates that does freshly cooked pizzas etc, as well as teas, coffees and ales.
