How
to get here - by public transport
By
Rail
West-coast mainline trains from London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow
and Edinburgh (operated by Virgin
Trains)
stop at Oxenholm station in Kendal. Buses leave from the west station
entrance. There are also local trains to and from Windermere (via
Kendal). Penrith to the North and Carnforth and Lancaster to the South.
The wonderfully picturesque Carlisle to Settle railway passes about 10
miles east of Sedbergh. The Stations at Dent (Cowgill) and Garsdale are
plausible jumping off points for cyclists (and possibly
walkers).

By Bus
Bus Services from Kendal to Sedbergh are not frequent but with careful
planning are quite useable. Buses to and from other towns (Kirby
Stephen, Kirby Lonsdale, Dent etc) are also available. (NB additional
services run during the summer, so check that you are consulting the
correct timetable for the time of your visit). Buses stop in Sedbergh. It will be necessary to follow the 'on-foot' instructions to get to Brigflatts from there.
