We love hosting dogs in Ennerdale because they always come with lovely, caring owners

Whether you like long ambling dog walks through the Lake district or just making mittens The Wild Wool Barn won’t disappoint. Dogs are welcome in the barn and campsite, we only ask that they tidy up after themselves. There are many brilliant walks for you to explore outside the hostel, with the breath taking backdrop of the lakes making it a perfect holiday for dogs and humans alike.

Whatever happend to YHA Ridgeway?

The Court Hill Centre, formerly known as Ridgeway Youth Hostel, was run by the YHA untill the late 80s. In April 1987 it became an independent hostel, owned and run by the local community Court Hill Trust. Still marketed by the YHA it was operated as part of the YHA network under their franchise scheme for a further 10 years. The centre made the break with the YHA in July 2007 when the YHA’s required that locals should be excluded from the hostel site.
