Sawrey Knotts, Far Sawrey from private drive
Take the car ferry across the lake and drive to the top of the hill passing 'Hawkrigg' on the left. About 200 yards further on, the road levels out and bends to the right. In front of you will see a cast iron fence (which is opposite Sawrey Knotts). Turn right into the entrance marked Sawrey Knotts. Follow the drive up to the front of the main house, and park facing the view.
If you miss the drive and reach the Sawrey Inn (a white building on the right) you have overshot by about 250 yards!
