Travelling around the Lake District

You are strongly urged to travel by public transport where possible, to help reduce congestion and the impact on the Lake District’s unique environment, but if you choose to drive remember that parking in some of the valleys is limited, and ask permission first before using pub or hotel car parks. Also be careful parking on roads or in gateways, as it is essential not to block access, especially for the emergency services including Mountain Rescue.

The public transport links around the national park are relatively infrequent, and so some careful planning is required. The council provides online timetables for the region (www.cumbria.gov.uk/landing_page/roadsandtravel.asp), as does Cumbria Tourism (www.golakes.co.uk/travel). You can even hire a low-carbon electric car locally to travel around the area (www.co-wheels.org.uk). See Appendix A for contact details.

In the information box at the start of every route description, look for the Public transport and Parking entries, which detail the nearest transport and car parking options.
