The civil parish centred on Ennerdale and Kinniside sits in the remote western reaches of historic Cumberland within the Lake District, tucked around the long, quiet ribbon of Ennerdale Water. Fringed by steep fells and pockets of mixed woodland, the area is prized for dramatic scenery and solitude, attracting hillwalkers and those looking to escape busier parts of the national park.
Traditionally dependent on sheep farming and forestry, the local economy now mixes low‑intensity tourism with conservation work and smallholdings; the valley is also notable for collaborative landscape management aimed at letting natural processes play a bigger role. Population is sparse and community life revolves around scattered farms and hamlets, giving the place a strong sense of remoteness and local identity.
