• Proceed North up the M6 Motorway, leaving at Junction 36.

• Turn Left onto the A590 Dual Carriageway and stay on this road for 3 miles, before turning left onto a slip road signed A590 Barrow. Turn left at the roundabout at the bottom of the slip road onto the A590. (This is mostly Dual Carriageway.) After 6 miles you come to a roundabout which you need to turn right at, again onto the A590, and signed Barrow and Newby Bridge .

• Proceed along this road for a further 11 miles before coming to a right turn, at a place called Greenodd, onto the A5092 (A595) and signed Workington and Whitehaven. Carry on along this road for approximately 11.5 miles until you reach Duddon Bridge with (permanent) Traffic Lights – turn right signed Ulpha and Seathwaite.

• At this point the roads get (a lot) narrower! 3.7 miles later turn left (signed Eskdale and Whitehaven) 300 yards after the Post Office. Up the “short, sharp, shock” hill, and over the hills for 6.5 miles.

• When you reach the King George IV pub, turn right – signed Boot and Eskdale Railway. You’re almost there!

• After another 1.8 miles turn left just after Brook House – we are just up here on the left. The car park entrance is to the rear. Now you deserve a drink!
