Take the M6 to junction 36. Follow the A591/A65 in the direction of Kendal. Bypass Kendal by staying on the A591. Drive through Windermere, Ambleside and Rydal. As you approach Grasmere go straight across the roundabout, do not turn left into Grasmere village.
We are about 3/4 mile along the A591 on the right, just as the speed limit changes to 30 miles per hour.

Pass the Swan Hotel on the left. The entrance to our drive is immediately after Our Lady of the Wayside church on the left.
