Elterwater is a village in the English Lake District and the county of Cumbria. The village lies half a mile (800 m) north-west of the lake of Elter Water, from which it derives its name. Both are situated in the valley of Great Langdale.[1]
Only a quarter of the houses in Elterwater are permanently occupied, the rest being holiday cottages.[citation needed]
