Eskdale Green is a village in Cumbria, England, 10 miles west of Coniston. HistoricallyinCumberland, it lies off the A595 road and is one of the few settlements in Eskdale.

Main sights[edit]

The village is centred on the small St. Bega's Church and hall. Since 1950 the Outward Bound Trust has owned Gate House mansion near the centre of the village,[1] which they operate as an outdoor adventure and education centre for young people. In late summer the grounds of Gate House are the venue for the annual Eskdale Fête.[1] The Gate House grounds used to encompass the Giggle Alley Forest, to the northwest of the village, which is now open to the public and contains 9 hectares (22 acres) of woodland, including a secluded Japanese garden designed by Thomas Mawson.[2]

Transport[edit]

The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway has two stations in the village. Eskdale Green station (or The Green) is a short distance to the south of the village centre, while Irton Road station is at the western edge of the village, on the road to Irton Pike.
