Set within the stunning Lake District National Park, our hostel offers a unique environment for adventure, learning, and research, making it an ideal location for student field trips and academic retreats.

With its remote setting and diverse natural landscapes, Low Gillerthwaite provides an excellent base for hands-on studies in subjects like environmental science, geography, and biology.

It’s the kind of outdoor classroom that brings textbook theory to life.

From hiking in the surrounding fells to kayaking on nearby lakes, orienteering through the woods, or even rock climbing, the possibilities for adventure are endless. Our location offers the chance to challenge students in ways they can’t experience within university walls.

Powered by renewable energy and surrounded by natural beauty, Low Gillerthwaite inspires students to learn about and participate in conservation efforts. It’s a space where education goes hand-in-hand with caring for the environment.

We offer flexible, comfortable accommodation with spacious dormitories, a large kitchen, and communal spaces perfect for workshops and group discussions. Whether you’re planning an academic retreat, fieldwork, or a leadership program, we’ve got the facilities to suit your group’s needs.

Although it feels like a world away, Low Gillerthwaite is easily accessible from major university cities in the North West, making it the perfect blend of escape and convenience.
