Travelling by Foot
On the south side of the village on the A6070, Dalton Lane leads to the east. Follow this lane for a half a mile until you see a building with a clock tower on the left (see above). This is the Business Centre.
Alternatively, on a nice day, you can walk across the fields and get a fine view of the Lake Distict Fells.
Stagecoach run the 555/556 service from Lancaster to Kendal and Keswick. The service runs through Carnforth (for the station), Milnthorpe, Windermere and Ambleside. The service runs approximately at hourly intervals The Stagecoach Northwest website can be found here. The best way to use the web site is to type Carnforth into the Bus Timetable Lookup departing from box. Click 'Click here to Browse Timetables' and then look for 554/555/556. This will give you a PDF timetable file.
Ask to be dropped at the south end of the village - by the 30mph sign. You will need to walk for the last half mile. Watch out for the very large timber lorries.
Our offices are in excellent biking country with quiet roads and magnificent scenery. You do have to watch out for the occasional timber lorry on Dalton Lane.
