Follow this road passing the turnings for Broughton-in-Furness. Just before the traffic lights at Duddon Bridge turn right. This road will take you all the way up the Duddon Valley through Ulpha to Seathwaite.
From Ambleside, take the A593 towards Coniston. The road takes you over the Skelwith Bridge and past the Hotel on the right, before bending sharply to the right and up a steep hill. As the road climbs down again there is a turning to Little Langdale and Wrynose Pass. At Little Langdale take the left fork towards Wrynose Pass. Wrynose Pass lies on a narrow, minor road that twists and turns onward to Cockley Beck. Here, after plunging to Wrynose Bottom, the road forks. Take the left fork on to Cockley Beck and the Duddon Valley.
Troutal Farm is then about 2 miles from Cockley Beck on the right hand side.
Wrynose Pass has steep gradients up to 1 in 3. An alternative route is to follow the A593 via Coniston
and Broughton in Furness, and following the above directions from the South. |
