The Green is a railway station on the 15 in gauge Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway in the Lake District National Park and the English county of Cumbria. The station is situated on the southern edge of the village of Eskdale Green, overlooking the Eskdale valley and Muncaster Fell. It was originally known as King of Prussia after the nearby public house, and later as Eskdale Green. The Eskdale Green name has continued in popular use, and was still in official use in 2017 (as it was in previous years) in the railway’s “full” timetable of intermediate stopping places.The station is linked by various public footpaths and bridleways to the railway stations at Irton Road, Dalegarth and Ravenglass, to the village of Eskdale Green, and to Muncaster Fell. The King George IV pub and Giggle Alley Japanese Gardens are within easy walking distance along a public road.HistoryOriginally the site of a siding used for local goods traffic, the first station was built in 1876, consisting of a short platform and small waiting shelter located next to the road bridge. The station building survived in the 15-inch gauge era, but was removed during the 1930s. In the early 1960s, the siding was removed and in 1965 construction of a new station building and platform commenced. The work was carried out by the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway Preservation Society West Yorkshire Group, and was completed by 1968. The station remains largely in its 1968 condition, although a toilet was added around 1990, in order to improve facilities for volunteer staff and passengers.
