Getting there

If approaching by car from the south leave the M6 at junction 35. This joins the A6 at a roundabout and according to your start point turn left to Carnforth or right towards Milnthorpe. From the traffic lights in Carnforth take the Warton road whence a choice of lanes leads to Silverdale. Warton can be reached more directly from the A6 heading towards Milnthorpe. Another useful approach from the northbound A6 is via Yealand Redmayne, whence a right turn leads past Leighton Moss to Silverdale or Arnside. From Milnthorpe a busy but very scenic road leads along the coast past Sandside to Arnside.

The hills east of the motorway are easily accessible from either Junction 35 or 36.

Public transport

The Furness railway (Lancaster to Barrow) runs through the area with stations at Carnforth, Silverdale and Arnside, the latter two being unmanned. There are several trains daily but it is wise to check the timetables before setting out. Many of the walks are easily accessible from these stations, and the car visitor could plan a linear route to return by train. The Silverdale Shuttle Service 33 bus connects Silverdale station to the village. The Carnforth Connect Line 1 between Carnforth and Milnthorpe links the villages of Warton, the Yealands, Hale and Beetham and a Stagecoach service runs from Kendal to Arnside. More information about transport in the area is available from Carnforth Connect on 01524 734311.
