Kentmere itself has a church and a few houses and that's about it... You may be able to fill up at the church hall if anyone's around... and there's always the stream that runs through it...? I've a friend who lives in Kentmere and they take their water directly from the run off from the hill - into a header tank etc... and it's untreated... plus there's the reservoir at the top end of the Kentmere valley off course from which the stream runs so I wouldn't be too worried about supping straight from it...
Failing that, Staveley's got plenty of shops (relatively) so you could always do a detour there if you need to refuel?get on your bikes and ride!0 -
Nearest shops, cafes and pubs are in Staveley.
