Where can you find us ?
You can find Staveley in South Lakeland between Kendal and Windermere at the confluence of two fast-flowing rivers, the Gowan and the Kent, close to the south-eastern approach to the World Heritage Site, the Lake District National Park.
Reston Scar dominates the skyline to the north of the village and Craggy Woods sits above the village to the east. The 81 mile Dales Way long-distance footpath from Bowness-on-Windermere to Ilkley in Yorkshire passes through the village.
Staveley is a fine example of a traditional working village, embracing new opportunities and enterprising outlets for visitors, local businesses and the residential community. At Staveley’s heart is a thriving, active and cohesive community of some 1700 residents with a real sense of community spirit.
Our village has easily commutable access to major cities and airports via:
Trains - Staveley railway station is on the Lakes Line which runs regular trains between Windermere and Oxenholme (the Lake District). Oxenholme station is on the West Coast mainline to Glasgow, Edinburgh and London. There are direct services from Manchester and Manchester Airport.
Buses - The Stagecoach 555 bus service runs between Lancaster and Keswick calling at Staveley throughout the day.
Bike - The National Cycle Network Route Six, which joins London to The Lake District routes through the middle of Staveley, allowing easy access to both Windermere (5.5 miles) to the West, Kendal (5.4miles) to the South East and Manchester (100 miles) to the South.
Car - The A591 main road navigates a route through the heart of the Lake District linking Staveley, Windermere, Ambleside, Grasmere and Keswick to Kendal and Junction 36 of the M6 Motorway. Staveley is 10 miles or 10 minutes from the M6.
