Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving to Tullie from any location in the Lake District National Park, start by heading towards the A66. From places like Keswick, take the A66 eastbound towards Penrith. Continue on the A66 for about 20 miles, then take the exit toward Carlisle (A595). Once on the A595, follow the signs for Carlisle. As you approach Carlisle, merge onto the A7 towards the city center. Continue until you reach Castle Street, where you will find Tullie at the address Castle St, Carlisle CA3 8TP. Parking is available in nearby car parks, which may incur a fee of around £2-£4 for a few hours.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Tullie via public transport, head to the nearest train station in the Lake District, such as Penrith or Windermere. From Penrith, take a train to Carlisle, which typically takes about 30 minutes. Once you arrive at Carlisle Station, you can either walk or take a bus to Castle Street. The walk is around 15 minutes: exit the station and head south on Scotland Road, then turn left onto Lonsdale Street, which will lead you to Castle Street. If you prefer the bus, several local services connect the train station to the city center, costing approximately £1-£2.
