How to find us

Fellside Studios are set right in the heart of the Lake District, yet really quick and easy to get to.

• Follow the A591 west for about 15 miles, and stay on A591 through Windermere.
• At the mini-roundabout (a painted circle in the road), turn right onto the A592, signposted to ‘Patterdale and Kirkstone Pass’.
• After 3 miles on the A592, immediately after a stone bridge, but before Jesus Church, turn left into a narrow lane signposted ‘Troutbeck 1/4 mile’.

Jesus Church from the Applethwaite Bridge on the A592 – turn left here!

• After about 250 yards, Fellside is the first building on the right – watch out for our geese, and then the sign on the wall next to our gate.

• Follow the A66 west for about 1 mile to a large roundabout.
• Take the A592 exit signposted to ‘Ullswater’.

Directions on foot (about 75 minutes)

• It's a bit over an hour's walk from Windermere Rail Station to Fellside Studios.
• It's very beautiful, but mainly uphill, so probably not really an option when you've just arrived with bags, and absolutely not recommended after dark!
• Turn left out of Windermere Rail Station, walk 100 yards and cross the road to the NatWest Bank, then cross the main road to a large white sign opposite the bank saying 'Footpath to Orrest Head'.

You can't miss this sign opposite the NatWest Bank – but watch out for the second signpost after 20 yards

• Follow this footpath uphill for about 20 yards, and at another signpost take the left footpath towards ' A592 Troutbeck Rd'.
• Keep to this footpath, crossing over several small driveways, and ignoring two footpaths which branch off to the right towards Orrest Head.
• After about 3/4 mile, at a big iron gate, turn right onto the A592.
• Follow the A592 uphill for about 2 miles, until immediately after a stone bridge, but before Troutbeck Church, turn left into a narrow lane signposted ‘Troutbeck 1/4 mile’.
• After about 250 yards, Fellside is the first building on the right – watch out for our geese, and then the sign on the wall next to our gate.
