Forest How is a large Victorian House, dating back to the 1870's, set in peaceful seclusion amidst five and a half acres of natural fellside and gardens at the foot of Muncaster Fell. All rooms enjoy spectacular views across fields to the village of Eskdale Green and to the fells beyond. If you are looking for Bed and Breakfast in the Eskdale Valley, Forest How will not disappoint you!
Our emphasis is on providing comfortable accommodation and a hearty breakfast in a relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Guests are welcome to explore the gardens and orchard or, if you prefer, you can just sit quietly and watch the abundant birdlife. Frequent visitors to the gardens and surrounding fields include roe deer and red squirrels and you may spot a barn owl at dusk, circling the field for food.
For outdoor enthusiasts the area is a haven for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers. Nearby are some of the highest peaks in the Lake District with Wasdale only a few miles away and the steep Hardnott pass leading to Langdale.

The village of Eskdale Green is situated in the Western Lake District within the picturesque Eskdale Valley.
The valley has something for everyone from gentle riverside walks to some of the best climbing in the Lakes.
Just twenty minutes away by car is the dramatic valley of Wasdale, home of Wastwater, the deepest of the lakes and Scafell Pike, the highest peak.
The Roman port of Ravenglass is only six miles away and is easily reached by a trip on the famous narrow gauge railway which runs through the Eskdale Valley from the tiny village of Boot all the way down to the sea.

In a world full of noise and movement we rarely stand still long enough to truly appreciate the wonders of the natural world.
In Eskdale may you find the place and moments of peace to capture in your mind the living world as it should be.
Stand or sit still long enough and mother nature will start to show her wonders, red squirrels hunt in the trees, birds of prey scour the skies, buzzards circle waiting for the fallen and the deer skitter though the forest with only a bark to warn of their departure.
