There are no shops in the village so its best to plan ahead when it comes to stocking up on essential supplies. There are a number of supermarkets but a visit to any of these will involve a drive out. Have a look at the options.

The Gather in Ennerdale Bridge 1.4 miles (a few mins drive down the hill). A community run café that offers a small selection of emergency essentials. If you ask at the counter they will also sell you fresh milk, it’s just not on display.  (The Ennerdale Centre, Ennerdale Bridge, Cleator CA23 3AR)
