About Kentmere

Kentmere is a dead-end horseshoe valley of farms, a reservoir and a high skyline of Ill Bell, Kentmere Pike and Harter Fell. There is no pub in the hamlet; people come to walk. The Garburn Pass links to Troutbeck, Nan Bield to Haweswater.

It is one of the quietest full-scale walking valleys in the east, and all the better for it.
