| Nearest Post Code: |

| Grid Reference: |
SD 289 197 |
| Notes: |
The car park at Fell Gate is very popular all season around and therefore can fill up quite quickly especially throughout the Summer, my best advice is to arrive early although I have be known to park here in the middle of Summer in mid afternoon after work and secured myself a parking spot. The nearest post code is for The Sun Hote just outside of Coniston. Follow the post code for The Sun Hotel which will appear on the right, from here the road climbs and bends sharply to the left before arriving at a junction, head straight ahead ignoring the left turn onto Walna Scar Road for a mile before arriving at a large metal gate where you will find the entrance to Fell Gate Car Park. Updated 06/11/2020 - Fell Gate is now a Pay and Display car park. |
