The map above can be toggled between map, satellite and terrain views. You can also zoom in and out and pan around.

Please note that the most detailed imagery must be a few years old as it shows Limefitt as it was before the more recent lodge developments.

The picture of the Lodge (which is actually our other lodge, Windermere Lodge) is centered over Limefitt Park.

Sat Nav users - Important Note!

The post code for Limefitt Park is LA23 1PA

If you are coming from the M6 J 36, your unit may direct you to take a short cut, turning right in the village of Ings. This uses country roads that are narrow and can be very treacherous in winter. The right turn where this road rejoins the A592 is shortly after the brow of a hill. Whilst this is in a 40 MPH limit you should be prepared for traffic travelling at higher speeds who may not be expecting you to appear in front of them!

As a safer alternative you can continue to Bowness and turn right at the first roundabout as described above.
