The Gatehouse Eskdale Lake District :-
This venue is in essence an Outward Bound Centre set in the heart of Eskdale, with ample accommodation for wedding parties. The interior converts surprisingly well to host weddings in its stunning countryside backdrop.
Ideal for country weddings in the idylic St Catherine's Church, Boot, why not commission a ride for your guests on the Eskdale Steam Railway after your wedding?
Wasdale is just around the corner, the scenery is second to none.
The venue also has full facilities for outdoor activities, which your wedding party can enjoy the day after by way of relaxation!
Another 'must visit' to truly appreciate what the venue has to offer.

Wedding Trivia:
GARTER AND BRIDAL BOUQUET TOSS
In parts of Europe during the 14th contrary, having a piece of the bride's clothing was thought to bring good luck. Guests would literally destroy the brides dress by ripping off pieces of fabric. In order to prevent this, brides began throwing various items to the guests - the garter belt being one of the items.In order to avoid this problem, it became customary in the 14th century for the bride to toss her garter to the men. Sometimes the men would get drunk, become impatient, and try to remove the garter ahead of time. Therefore, the custom evolved for the groom to remove and toss the garter. With that change the bride started to toss the bridal bouquet to the unwed girls of marriageable age. Tradition says that whoever catches the bouquet shall be the next to marry. She keeps the bouquet to ensure this destiny.
