Wasdale Shuttlebus

About

The Wasdale Explorer Shuttlebus is a 22 seat vehicle with space for a pushchair/folding wheelchair. Dogs are allowed on the bus. The service runs during the summer months only.

Take the Wasdale Explorer and make your visit to Wasdale easier and better for the climate, the community and the landscape. Parking in the valley is very limited, but you can catch the shuttle bus to Wasdale Head. Wasdale Head is the starting point for walks to Scafell, Scafell Pike, Great Gable and other fells as well as Wastwater. This year the bus will be running to Muncaster Castle and Gardens, providing links to this great historic  house. We've included more journeys that link up with Ravenglass train station, where you can park and ride or take a train along the scenic Cumbria Coastal Railway line and catch the bus at Ravenglass station.

Check train times before you travel on National Rail.

The bus is a 22 seat vehicle. Dogs are allowed on the bus, but not on the seats.
