Eskdale Green is a village in Cumbria, England, 10 miles west of Coniston.
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.
