Lake District: The Practical Road Trip Guide
£8.99
Skip to product information
Drive the Lake District with confidence – and enjoy it.
A loop of around 190 miles from Kendal takes in Windermere, the Kirkstone Pass, Ullswater, Keswick, Borrowdale and Buttermere, the quiet western lakes of Ennerdale and Wasdale, the coast at Ravenglass, the Hardknott and Wrynose passes, Grasmere, Langdale and Coniston. The distances look tiny; the roads are steep, narrow and full of reasons to stop. This practical guide tells you what you actually need to know before you go and on the road.
Inside you'll find:
• Why clockwise from Kendal works best, and when it doesn't
• Ready-made 5-day, 7-day and 10-day itineraries, plus a long weekend
• Narrow lanes, steep passes, sheep and parking explained, based on the Highway Code
• All six route sections in detail: stops, short walks, viewpoints, parking, toilets and where to stay
• Hardknott and Wrynose: who should drive them, how to do it well, and the easy alternatives
• Fuel and EV charging, the Windermere ferry, campervan rules, a packing list and a quick-reference checklist
No padding, no star ratings, no out-of-date prices – just clear, practical advice for drivers, couples, families and first-timers.
Book 9 in the Traveller's Essentials series.
