From M6 junction 40, follow the brown Western Lake District signs past Keswick and Bassenthwaite Lake on the A66 towards Cockermouth. Turn left at the Cockermouth roundabout onto the A5086. Follow the A5086 to Egremont where it joins the A595. Turn left for Ravenglass following the A595.

Public Transport Directions

Leave the car behind and visit us by train from Lancaster and Morecambe, Grange-over-Sands, Windermere, Preston, Carlisle, and Oxenholme the Lake District – all key holiday destinations. Regular Northern trains travel on the scenic Cumbrian Coast Line between Carlisle, Whitehaven, and Barrow, calling at Ravenglass every day.

Our 'through ticket' with Northern Rail is available. Tickets can be bought at mainline stations or onboard Northern trains. Please note that we will allocate seats to Northern Rail ticket holders on the next available train at Ravenglass ticket office. Please present your Northern Rail ticket at the ticket desk on arrival. Please ensure you have cross-checked both ours and Northern's current timetables to plan your journey.

Leave the car behind and travel by bus. Bus services (Route X7/7) now operate between Whitehaven, Ravenglass, and Barrow offering four daily, round-trip journeys.
