How to find Woodhow Farm and the Cumbrian-Goat-Experience

From the South

Leave the M6 motorway at junction 36 for Kendal/Lakes
Follow signs to Barrow (A590)
Turn right to Workington (A5092)
Follow the coastal road (A595) through Bootle & Waberthwaite
Go past Ravenglass. After a couple of miles, turn right towards Santon Bridge (just before the Esso garage on the left)
Make your way to Santon Bridge and, at the end of the road, turn left
After 50 yards, turn right (signed to Wasdale)
Go along this road for about five minutes and you will pass over a bridge
Once over the bridge, immediately turn right and then right again
Carry on along a winding road, heading towards Wasdale Head
After about ½ mile you will reach the drive to Woodhow Farm on your left. If you reach Lake Wastwater you have gone too far. Look out for the new farm sign saying ‘Woodhow Farm and Cottages’ and the Cumbrian-Goat-Experience.

From the North

Leave the M6 at Carlisle (junction 44) (or Junction 40 at Penrith if coming from the South) and follow the A595 (signed Barrow)
A few miles after you have gone through Calder Bridge, turn left to Gosforth (it is well signed)
Turn left at the mini roundabout (where there is a triangle of pubs)
Keep on this road (following signs for Wasdale)
Go past the Screes pub (on your left) and the Strands Hotel (on your right) you are in Nether Wasdale. The road will eventually split - keep left (towards Wastwater lake)
Woodhow is a mile or so on your left (look out for the new farm sign‘ Woodhow Farm and Cottages’ and the Cumbrian-Goat-Experience.)
If you reach the Lake (on your right) you have gone a few yards too far.
