Road Directions

Dalegarth is signposted as the principle station on the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway, which is located in south west Lakeland. It can be reached from the north via Hardknott Pass but, at 1 in 3 (33%) and winding, it is not recommended. The preferred route is from the southwest on a minor, but level road.

Car Parking

Use the Pay and Display car park at the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway Station in Dalegarth (174007).
