Boot is a small hamlet in Eskdale, deep in the western Lake District in Cumberland. It sits at the foot of Hardknott Pass — one of the steepest and most dramatic road climbs in England — and is reached via the narrow valley roads off the A595 near Holmrook. The surrounding fells and the narrow-gauge Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway make it a well-known stop for those exploring the quieter western Lakes.
Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified overnight stops in and around Eskdale — useful if you’re planning to tackle Hardknott or Wrynose passes, or simply looking for a motorhome-friendly base away from the busier central Lakes.
