Pay & Display car park with 50 spaces.
The Buttermere National Trust car park lies a few hundred metres to the north of the village of Buttermere, which itself nestles between the two lakes of Buttermere (to the south) and Crummock (to the north).
The car park is located on the B5289 coming in from Lorton near Cockermouth in the North or via the Borrowdale Valley and Honister Pass to the south. This road is narrow and twisty with passing places, edged with a mixture of rocky outcrops, walls, and hedgerows. Sheep, cows and chickens may be encountered in the road (dairy herds from local farms may be walked through the village at milking time) or surrounding fields.
There are no toilets or refreshments available in this car park, but both (non NT) can be found in the village, approximately 500m downhill from the car park.
