Eskdale Stores

Highlight • Rest Area

If you need supplies this little shop is the place to go in Eskdale. This place has saved me a number of times when I was running short on snacks or water!

Known locally as La’al Ratty, The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway is a narrow gauge steam railway linking the coastal village of Ravenglass to the Lake District National Park. La’al Ratty is 'Little Railway' in the local Cumbrian dialect.
A bridleway runs alongside the tracks so if you are lucky you might see, smell and hear a train chug by. This makes it an especially good place to bring young bikers who will no doubt love the spectacle and easy going terrain.
A popular MTB route is to catch La’al Ratty from Ravenglass to Dalegarth and ride back along the Eskdale Trail.

Opens at 9:30, we had a lovely slap up breakfast before our 48km ride. We had a very friendly service and we regretted not trying all the cakes on the counter... A must visit for all times of the day.
