Ashness Bridge Car Park, Borrowdale

Type:Car Park

Borrowdale, KESWICK, Cumbria, CA12 5UN

About

Pay & Display car park with 15 spaces.

This is a small and usually very popular car park. Bring your camera, as this is probably the most photographed packhorse bridge in the Lakes. If you want a clear shot, you'll need to turn up early - or maybe late! Pay-by-phone is available here.

Driving from the lakeside in the Borrowdale Valley, the road up to Ashenss Bridge is steep and narrow with passing places. However the rewards are obvious as this extremely popular viewpoint looks out over Derwent Water with spectacular views extending to Bassenthwaite Lake and taking in the River Derwent.

This car park is operated by The National Trust. For all enquiries, please use the details below:
