Honister Pass Car Park, Borrowdale
Type:Car Park
Seatoller, KESWICK, Cumbria, CA12 5XN
About
Pay & Display car park with 40 spaces.
At 350m altitude, this is a good place to gain height before heading for the summits or to start a downhill walk and catch the bus back up.
The car park is off the B5289 at the summit of Honister Pass between the Borrowdale and Buttermere valleys.
Perched at the top of Honister Pass this is a great place to pause as you drive the steep and narrow road up from Seatoller. Watch the scenery change as you leave the wooded valley of Borrowdale behind you and take in the wild fell views as you head over the top of this mountain pass and down into Buttermere.
On a sunny day you can see the top of Glaramara but even when the cloud comes down it can be a dramatic and eerie spot as the fells tops disappear and re-emerge. Remember to check road conditions before heading up during cold weather.
