Visitors to the tarn will also undoubtably experience issues with parking unless they are camping here. Most of the country lanes are narrow and will not accommodate parked vehicles unless you find a lay-by, which is probably a passing place and shouldn't really be parked in. The nearest suitable parking is at [[Skelwith Bridge]], which itself has limited parking and can be difficult to find a space after midmorning. Although further away, another option is [[Rydal Hall]], which offers parking on their grounds for £10 for the whole day. If you are lucky enough, the roadside leading to Rydal Hall and [[Rydal Mount]] sometimes has space, just make sure you do not block the entrance to the church or private driveways. There is a very small car park at Pelter Bridge, off the A591 and over a small hump-back bridge, but you need to get there early as it is usually full most of the day. The last resort, and this is said with bitter disappointment because there is so much potential for this car park, is White Moss Common. The land is owned by the Lowther Estate but managed terribly with extremely overpriced charges and a ANPR system in place.
