Seatoller in the Borrowdale valley, at the heart of the English Lake District is ideally located for outdoor activities and field studies with easy access to crags, ghylls, lakes, forests, fells and the highest peaks in England, including Scafell Pike.  Our position at the base of Honister Pass means we have easy access to Buttermere, Crummock and the Western Lakes.

By Foot or Bicycle - We are next to the Coast to Coast Walk. We also particularly encourage visitors coming by bicycle.

Via Rail & Public Bus – The nearest station is Penrith which lies on the west coast main line. Penrith is 25 miles  from the Centre and we can arrange transport from the station if required. Trains run regularly from all over the country to Penrith station and from there regular bus services link to Keswick (number. X4 X5) and then on to Borrowdale (number 77 77a 79). Due to the fragile nature of the Borrowdale Valley and limited road network we encourage our guests to use public transport, where possible. http://www.keswick.org/getting_about.asp, Train Timetable, Bus timetable

Go past the village of Grange (on your right) and proceed through Rosthwaite. 7 miles from Keswick, just before the village of Seatoller, the Centre is on your right.  We have plenty of parking and encourage our guests to leave their car at Glaramara during the duration of their stay.
