How To Find Us
From the South
- Leave the M6 motorway at junction 36 for Kendal/Lakes.
- Follow signs to Barrow (A590).
- Turn right to Workington (A5092)
- 3 miles beyond Newby Bridge and follow this road to Broughton-in-Furness
(10 miles).
- Turn right to Ulpha before the River Duddon (3/4 mile beyond
Broughton).
- After 4 miles turn left in Ulpha village to the steep hill
signed Eskdale.
- Follow the fell road to Eskdale (6 miles).
- Keep going past the George IV pub, over the ratty bridge and
into the centre of the village.
- You will pass St Bega's church on your left, then the village
shop & Post Office on your right. Just after the village
shop, turn left down Randlehow road.
- Whin Rigg is 100m down Randlehow Road on your right (opposite
a house called The Ferns).
Please note: if you have satellite
navigation, the recommended route often appears to be over Wrynose
and Hardknott passes which can be very lovely but are incredibly
steep (England's steepest road with gradients of up to one in three),
windy and narrow. Following this route is shorter in distance but
certainly not quicker than the directions shown above.
The postcode for Whin Rigg Cottage
is: CA19 1UA
