Leave the M6 motorway at Junction 36 and follow the signs for Windermere and the Southern Lake District.

After approximately 12 miles the A591 road will lead you past Windermere village towards Ambleside. At the small roundabout at Cook’s House Corner, continue straight over from where you will come to the next small village, Troutbeck Bridge.

Proceed through the village and, just after the Esso petrol station, take the right turning signposted Troutbeck (YHA sign).

Follow this road for approximately one mile and Broadoaks is on the right hand side.
