Please note: if you have satellite navigation, the recommended route often appears to be over Wrynose and Hardknott passes which can be very lovely but are incredibly steep (England's steepest road with gradients of up to one in three), windy and narrow. Following this route is shorter in distance but certainly not quicker than the directions shown above.WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS ROUTE IS NOT USED IN THE WINTER MONTHS, DUE TO ICE, AND AS SUCH IT IS EASY TO GET A CAR STUCK ON THE PASS FOR DAYS - PLEASE USE THE ALTERNATIVE ROUTES AS DESCRIBED HEREIN.The postcode for Rose Cottage is: CA19 1TL If the weather is bad, we suggest the safest way when coming from the south to even consider staying on the A595 all the way to Gosforth and follow the directions below.
