Scout Green is a hamlet and small area of farm land near the village of Tebay in Cumbria, England.
It is best known among railway enthusiasts as a location for trainspotting and photography on the West Coast Main Line between Penrith and Oxenholme, and has been a popular vantage point on the railway since soon after the opening of this section of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway in December 1846.[1] Northbound steam hauled trains were often banked up the 1 in 75 gradient towards Shap whilst southbound trains can be observed accelerating downhill from summit at Shap Fell. A signal box was located at Scout Green, but this was removed in the 1970s when the WCML was electrified.
An unusual feature of Scout Green is its access road — it involves travelling up a single track road which runs between the carriageways of the M6 motorway.
