There is room to park in the lovely village of Threlkeld but its advisable to remember that Threlkeld is quite a small village and parking is premium even for its residents so care must be taken when parking. The ideal place to park is next to the the church where you will find room for up to half a dozen cars, My advise is to arrive early to secure a place to leave your car due to how the alternative routes you can ascend Blencathra by the most popular being The Halls Ridge where most would start from Threlkeld.
