Watch out for the car parks run by the Lake District park authority - They have climbed in to bed with Parking Eye (ex-wheel clamping cowboys) and now operate ANPR cameras at many of the LDNPA car parks.
Back to topic - Whilst not Borrowdale, Castlerigg stone circle is a short drive from Keswick. If you can get there before the tourists, a few rocks are lying around waiting to be photographed. |

If you fancy a day out Wasdale head is superb as is Buttermere, Ordanance Survey (AA walks maps places to see) do a very informative book. This book (used) on Amazon is 1 pence + P&P.

A drive to the top of Hardknott pass is a once in a lifetime experience.

Traffic, car park fess or rain, don't let us put you off. It's a fantastic place to visit any time of the year if you like the great outdoors.

Bill, That was the case when I last visited - especially with the NT CPs that have a Derwentwater frontage. I did try remonstrating but I still had to pay Mind this seems to be a spreading menace as the same now applies to some of the Dartmoor NP car parks that used to be free Neil.

Thanks for all the replies. We are both NT members, so parking fees shouldn't be too much of a problem and I will be aware of aggressive pensioners, particularly those wielding dangerous pro-grade DSLR's.
Castlerigg Stone Circle looks interesting. I believe there is also a disused slate quarry around there as well, but the name escapes me. Last edited by Keith Tapscott.; 29th March 2014 at 08:41 AM. |

The LDNPA car parks are a pain. They have machines which are supposed to take card payments but so far out of the three car parks I've been to recently (Glenridding and Grasmere areas) all three of them didn't work. Take plenty of £1 coins if you're planning to use them because they're not cheap.
Borrowdale is lovely but it's also reputedly the wettest place in England ... |
