Eskdale is the valley, stretching from Gosforth, near Seascale on the West coast of Cumbria, through to the foot of Hard Knott pass, and contains the small villages of Santon Bridge, Eskdale Green and Boot. It is very popular with tourists, being close to Scafell - England's highest mountain. The small preserved steam Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway travels along the length of the valley.
