      From the M6, junction 40, take the A66 towards Keswick. At the next roundabout, in approximately 1 mile, take the second exit onto A592 towards Ullswater. At the end of the road, turn left towards Pooley Bridge. Go over the bridge and past the shops in the Village, then turn right at the mini-roundabout outside of the Village Church. Proceed ahead until you get to the crossroads. You need to go straight over at the crossroads and the park is 100 metres ahead on the left-hand side.
