How to find us

Hill Top Farm and Barn (LA12 8HA) is situated on the edge of the Lake District, in Penny Bridge, Cumbria. See below some directions to help you when coming to stay at with us:

By car:

Leave the M6 at junction 36 and turn westwards onto the A591 towards Kendal; then A590 towards Barrow for approximately 16 miles then turn right on the new roundabout, signed to Greenodd / Workington (A5092).

After half-a-mile turn off to the first right at minor cross-roads signposted to Oxen Park, down the hill and over the stone bridge over the river Crake. Immediately over the bridge, bear right onto the small steep lane that goes uphill. Hill Top farm is half-a-mile up the wooded hill on the right. Park in the car park through the double gates.

Alternatively (and we recommend this route in snowy weather) you may wish to turn right earlier on the A590 (just after the Rusland Pool Hotel Pub, signposted Bouth). Follow the hilly winding road for three-quarters-of-a-mile, bear left for half-a-mile then turn left at the very narrow lane (if you get to cross-roads or pass a farm you’ve missed the lane). Hill Top is on left hand side of the lane about a mile down.

By Train:

The nearest train station is Ulverston from where you can get a taxi or a bus to the farmhouse.

We recommend Paul’s Taxis, who you can call in advance on 01229 441 723, while the bus you require is the X12 bus to Greenodd, which drops off in the village around one mile from Hill Top.
