| HOLLIN HEAD: HOW TO FIND
US
From the South
- Leave the M6 motorway at junction 36 for Kendal/Lakes.
- Follow signs to Barrow (A590).
- Turn right to Workington (A5092) 3 miles beyond Newby Bridge
and follow this road to Broughton-in-Furness (10 miles).
- Turn right to Ulpha before the River Duddon (3/4 mile beyond
Broughton).
- After 4 miles turn left in Ulpha village to the steep hill
signed Eskdale.
- Follow the fell road to the King George IV pub (6 miles).
- Turn right.
- Hollin Head is second on the left.
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.
