**Endmoor** is a small village within [Cumbria](/source/Cumbria), England, situated close to the [A65 road](/source/A65_road). It is about 5 miles (8 km) from [Kendal](/source/Kendal), just south of [Oxenholme](/source/Oxenholme), and is in the parish of [Preston Richard](/source/Preston_Richard).

Endmoor is a community with small businesses including the club inn, village school, village hall and bakery. A millennium clock stands on the green and there is a playground for the children.

## History

Endmoor used to be home to a grand manor house called Enyeat. This is now the name of a nearby road and the coach house (1875) is a guest house. In 1991 the new primary school "St.Patrick's C of E School" was built by locals. It is now 'the hub' of the village offering a pre-school, parent and toddler group, parent and child activities and adult / community classes such as Art & IT.

Poet [John Keats](/source/John_Keats) stayed the night in the village in the summer of 1818 on a walking tour through the Lakes, with the goal of meeting his hero, [William Wordsworth](/source/William_Wordsworth). Keats and his walking companion, Charles Brown, walked from Lancaster along the path of the modern A65 before reaching Endmoor. The following morning they walked to [Kendal](/source/Kendal).[1]

The old school, opened in 1862, has been turned into housing. It was replaced by a new school in 1991.
