Leave the motorway @ Junction 39. Turn L then R for the village of SHAP. Turn R towards the North end of the village @ the Bulls Head opposite the Chip shop, the minor road is signed for CROSBY RAVENSWORTH. Follow the winding country road over the fell and down into Crosby Ravensworth (aprox. 4 miles). In Crosby turn L at the T junction and follow the road for 1 further mile. As you cross the cattle grid and go up round the L hand corner, MEABURN HILL is the first house on your L as you drop down into the village (wooden seat in front of house on opposite side of road). Go past the house and attached cottage (CHESTNUTS) and turn into the yard to park to the rear of the house if staying at Meaburn Hill, or inside the gate to the front of the cottage if staying at Chestnuts.

Leave the motorway @ Junction 40. Take the 2nd exit from the roundabout and follow the A66 to the 2nd roundabout. Take the 4th exit for the A6 and EamontBridge. Follow the A6 aprox 1 mile until you reach the L hand turn for CLIBURN & BOLTON. Follow this winding road past Wetheriggs pottery, through Cliburn towards Bolton. About 1 mile out of Cliburn take the R hand turn for KINGS MEABURN. Drive through Kings Meaburn and at the foot of the hill turn R for LITTLEBECK & MAULDS MEABURN. You will reach Maulds Meaburn after aprox.3 miles. Continue on through the village past two stone bridges, up the hill and Meaburn Hill and Chestnuts are third on the right. Park as above. NOTE: If travelling after dark it is perhaps easiest to continue on the motorway to Junction 39, turn right for Shap then follow the directions as for those travelling from the South. There are fewer signposts to look for in the dark.
