Mountain lay-by, steep access
Honister Pass, CA12 5XN, Keswick
Been here?
A roadside parking area beside a shallow stream, surrounded by mountains with beautiful views. Recent stays have been quiet, with space for 4 to 5 vehicles and little traffic, although the road is narrow and the pass is very steep at 25%. There is no mobile signal, and the stream offers spots for dogs and cold dips.

What a spot! People stopping off for photos but otherwise we were completely alone. Dogs loved running up and down the stream (very shallow at the moment). If you follow the grass path along the waters edge you’ll find a couple of deeper spots for a cold dip. Only downside it’s in the shade for most of the day, compared to the other side of the pass which is sunbathed!
Beautiful place to enjoy the mountains, stream, and nature. No mobile phone reception, but that is not needed here on a beautiful day—just pure enjoyment. Right next to the road but little traffic. However, the pass is very steep (25%) and the roads are narrow. Four to five places.
This is a cracker. Very quiet overnighter shared with 3 others. The road is narrow but with plenty places to pass. It is however very steep. PLEASE respect this area.
Really good location made even better with the stream running right along side. Room for up to 6 vans, perfect place for my TentBox set up
