Elterwater is a small, picturesque village situated in the Langdale Valley. A pretty row of cottages overlook the village green where walkers often congregate in the summer months. Many footpaths lead off from the village, one of which follows the lake shore. Although a tranquil setting today the village once thrived with the local quarrying of slate at Skelwith Bridge and there was also a gunpowder works in production until the 1930's.
