The Ethics Foundation is based in the heart of the English Lake District near Grasmere. Easedale House is owned by the National Trust and sits at the end of an archetypal Lakeland valley, where luscious meadows lie beneath craggy hilltops and the milky white water falls out of Easedale Tarn. This is the landscape that inspired the great poets, Wordsworth and Ruskin, and there could not be a better place to find and share inspiration (view our gallery).
Easedale House is 20 minutes from Windermere Station which connects with the West Coast mainline to London and Scotland, and is about 40 minutes from Junction 36 on the M6 motorway.
Directions From the South
Leave the M6 motorway at junction 36, signposted ‘Kendal and South Lakes A490’. Follow the road (becomes A491) past Windermere and through Ambleside (follow signs for Keswick). Continue until the first turn off for Grasmere is reached. Go in to the village and follow the road round the village until you see a sign for Easedale (no through road). Take this for 1 mile. Easedale House is at the far end of the meadows.
From the North
Leave the M6 motorway at Junction 40 signposted ‘A66 Keswick’. Follow this road for about 14 miles and take the B5322 on your left signposted ‘Thirlmere’. Take this road and join the A591 south towards Ambleside. On approaching Grasmere, take the first road signposted Grasmere on your right and proceed as above.
