Things to See & Do Locally 
 
Boot has a fantastic setting in the valley of Eskdale eloquently described by the famous Lakeland author Alfred Wainwright: 
 
"Eskdale, one of the loveliest of Lakeland's valleys, descends from the highest and wildest mountains in the district to the sands of Ravenglass in a swift transition from grandeur to beauty... It is a place of many delights, the finest of all valleys for those whose special joy is to travel on foot and a paradise for artists." 
 
This is the heart of the Lake District National Park with the highest, deepest, steepest, and oldest! Within walking distance are Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain, dramatic Wastwater, its deepest lake, Hardknott Pass, its steepest road and Boot Mill, its oldest working water mill. It is a very special area for walkers with many of the finest walks in England on the doorstep - see section below on Walking. 
 
Boot Village - Bridge End Farm Cottages are in the village of Boot. It is one of the Lake District's "scenic hamlets", nestling beneath mighty Scafell and despite having only some 20 to 30 residents boasts a church, post office, craft shop, corn mill museum and two traditional Inns. The village is secluded but not isolated.

This cottage is cosy, warm and romantic with full gas central heating, double glazing, ancient oak beams, local pink granite stonework, fully equipped kitchens, period bathrooms and quality furnishings. We continually upgrade and improve our cottages. We have 3 garden areas including a secret walled garden, and a large riverside paddock with picnic spot. Barbecues and ample garden furniture throughout Private parking with 3 spaces for the Farmhouse and Scafell, 2 spaces for Wastwater and 1 space for each of the other cottages. Additional shared laundry room with washing machines, tumble dryers and payphone. Wifi modem located in the laundry room so internet access is better nearer or facing the laundry room. Booklets on local walks and full details of our favorite walks, drives and places to visit in each cottage.

There is climbing, abseiling, canoeing, pony trekking, fishing and swimming in hot weather in the numerous rock pools of the River Esk and Whillan Beck. Or simply sit in the garden with your sketch pad - there is beautiful scenery all around waiting to be painted.

Both Eskdale and neighbouring Wasdale, like many other Lakeland valleys have their traditional Lakeland shows in the Autumn and are a major feature on the farming calendar.
