Travelling along the M6, leave the motorway at Junction 40 and turn onto the A66 to Cockermouth (25 miles). (Travelling from south turn left from the motorway slip road/travelling from north navigate around the roundabout and once passing the entry and exit roads for the motorway take the next exit).

As you approach Cockermouth there is a large island with 'The Wool and Sheep Centre' on your left, turn left here onto the A5086 to Egremont.

After about 5 miles you will see on your right-hand side a public house called 'The Lamplugh Tip', proceed for a bout a mile and on a sharp right hand bend you will see a signpost for Ennerdale.  Take this left turn.
