      Road Directions

      The Cedar Tree Restaurant at Farlam Hall is situated 12.5 miles South East of Carlisle on the A689 Brampton to Alston road. We are not in Farlam village.

      The main North/South Motorway, the M6 is only 10 miles to Junction 44 if traveling North or Junction 43 if traveling South. It is a 15 to 20 minutes drive to either junction.

      There is an electric car charging point on site and this is complimentary for residents. Please advise at time of booking if you will require access to the charging point during your stay.

      Public Transport Directions

      Carlisle Station is 12 miles away and served by the Virgin West Coast line from London Euston. Times now are approximately 3.5 to 4.00 hours. Taxis are available outside the station.

      Brampton Junction is on the Carlisle to Newcastle line and is only 1.5 miles away but has limited services. If you do choose to arrive this way please let us know in advance as the station is just a halt with no staff, telephone or taxis.
