SAT NAV users told (by their machines) to stop at Seatoller need to continue one mile up hill and onto Honister Pass to reach us.

We have plenty of car parking too.

Directions by road
If you are coming from Keswick, look out for the Borrowdale Valley signs - you need the "B5289" 
(It's 8 miles from Keswick along one of the most beautiful corners of the Lake District).

If you are approaching from Cockermouth, take the "B5292" out of town and after four miles turn right onto the B5289 which takes you through Low Lorton, Buttermere and onto Honister. (14 miles from Cockermouth) Again, this is a spectacular drive.

Bus: Try the seasonal Honister Rambler service from Keswick - the 77/77A Downloadable Time-Table
