Getting here
How are you travelling?
By car or coach
Prioritised 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, motor-homes, trailers or any vehicle over 5m in length**
