Swirral Camping Barn
Glenridding, Ullswater, Cumbria
OS Grid Reference: NY 365174
Swirral Barn sits in an enviable position above Glenridding nr Ullswater, making it the perfect base for walks up and around Helvellyn be it by the difficult Striding Edge or the easier Swirral Edge. There is also a pub in Glenridding just 1 mile away if you don’t fancy making your own food.
The barn provides mattresses but the rest of your camping equipment is required. It is a great alternative to camping giving a roof over your head to keep you dry whatever the weather.

From the M6 J40, follow signs for Keswick for about a mile. Turn left at the roundabout following the signs to Ullswater. On reaching the Lake, turn right, following the A592 along the western shore for 9 miles as far as Glenridding. Turn right in Glenridding as if entering the car park, but continue past the car park entrance and take the next road on the left signed for Helvellyn Youth Hostel. After half a mile it becomes a driveable track. Follow this road up the Valley for about one and a half miles. Go past the Youth Hostel 100 metres, through a gate, across a bridge and park round the back of the building on your right. Swirral Barn is the upper or western end of this building. From Windermere, go over the Kirkstone pass on the A592, turn left in Glenridding and continue as above.
