Alternative 1: The easiest route if you have never been to Poppy Farm before.
- 3.4 miles from Morrison's turn right where it is sign posted Patton Bridge. Very soon you come to a cross-road by a farm and barn buildings. Keep going straight up the hill: the road bends to the right.
- Follow this narrow lane for a mile and you should see Poppy Farm on the right. (Look for the wooden sign on a telegraph pole).
- Turn up the farm track and then turn right in front of the farm buildings. You should see a sign on a building - Fellview Caravan Park and Visitors Car Park; park here if you are visiting but drive through the gate if you are a resident.
- Your holiday home is the top one on the right. Park next to the caravan in the space provided.
Alternative 2: Shortest but includes a winding lane.
- 2.1 miles from Morrison's look out on the right-hand side for a lay-by and a bungalow with blue paintwork. Turn right here where it is sign posted Whinfell.
- Follow this narrow lane for almost a mile when you reach a cross-road. Turn left and in 0.3 miles you come to Poppy Farm entrance.
- Then follow instructions from Alternative 1.
Alternative 3: Avoids Kendal town centre.
- Stay on the A591 until you reach a roundabout – Kendal north. As you go around the roundabout look for a sign for Burneside and follow it.
- Keep following signs to Burneside and you enter the village down a hill to a T- junction. Turn right and immediately left – past the SPAR shop. From here just follow the main road until you reach the A6 where you turn left.
- You will come 0.9 miles before the blue bungalow (Alternative 2) and 2.2 miles before the Patton Bridge turning (Alternative 1): take your pick.
FROM THE NORTH
- Travel down the A6, until you pass the Plough Inn on the right hand side of the road. After take the third turn to the left signposted Patton Bridge: you are then on the Alternative 1 route.
