Kepplewray Trust The Kepplewray Centre Broughton in Furness, Ulverston, Cumbria LA20 6HEDirections:
Kepplewray is approx 30 miles from the M6 (normally takes 35-45 minutes). Whether travelling from the north or the south: Leave the M6 at junction 36 onto the A590, signposted Kendal and Barrow. After 3 miles turn off towards Barrow (still the A590). Do not go straight on towards Kendal and Windermere (A591).. Follow the A590 for 17 miles (through Newby Bridge). Take the right hand turning onto the A5092 at Greenodd signposted Broughton, Workington and Coniston. Continue on this road for 8 miles, it becomes the A595 at Grizebeck. After Grizebeck for about 4 miles, the road takes a number of sharp bends followed by a straight section which leads to a sharp left bend with a large lay-by on the right hand side (old quarry). Follow the road round this bend, then signal right to take the road signed 'Local Traffic'. BE VERY CAREFUL at this junction, as there is a hidden dip ahead of you just before you make the turn. Follow the windy road for a mile until you see the school signs. Signal right when you come to these signs as you will be making a turn just over the brow of the hill.Public Transport :
The nearest railway station is at Foxfield approximately a 1 mile walk from the Centre. The station and line is operated by Northern and more information is available at www.northernrailway.co.uk.
