In support of the Government's bus fare cap, and to encourage visitors to arrive at Sizergh by sustainable transport, we're offering a free regular hot drink with a valid bus ticket.
Drop in to Sizergh for easy estate walks, wildlife spotting, freshly prepared food and some inspiration from the gardens. There are plenty of free walks, pick up a map from Visitor Reception when you visit. The children's wild play area is open all year round and the 1,600 acre estate is a great place for dog walks. Afterwards warm up in the cafe with your free drink, and treat yourself to a hot bowl of soup and a freshly baked cake.
The Government's bus fare cap includes the following routes near us:
- Stagecoach X6 (Barrow to Kendal)
- 555 (Lancaster to Keswick)
- 755 (Bowness to Carnforth)
- Kirkby Lonsdale Coaches 551 (Arnside to Kirkby Lonsdale).
For the full list, please visit the GOV website here.
Please plan your route in advance, several of the bus stops involve crossing a dual carriageway and can be up to a 20-minute walk away.
