Getting here

How are you travelling?

By car or coach

Prioritized parking, we can never guarantee car parking, however, we will always try our best to accommodate. 

Parking for cars - we will be very busy during the school holidays and our car park will fill up very early, at which point we ask drivers to park elsewhere in the area. We encourage anyone who can to travel by alternative means including boat, bus or cycle.

From the M6, exit at Junction 36 and follow the A590 and A591 to Windermere and Ambleside!

**Due to limited space, we do not offer parking for caravans, or trailers**

Car parking charges

We have a pay and display parking system.

We make every effort to accommodate all visitors who arrive by car, however please note that during peak season our car park can reach full capacity.
