We are pleased to be able to offer overnight parking in our large bottom carpark with fantastic Lake District panoramic views. Perfectly nestled between Keswick, Derwentwater, Borrowdale and Buttermere.
This is for campervans/motorhomes/vans to park for the night, we are unfortunately not able to offer any camping for tents.
Please note we have no facilities available here and there is no electric hook ups.
Honister Pass is a 25% gradient and is narrow in places, but it does get arctic wagons at times! Please drive with care.
Our Sky Hi Café will be open from 9am daily to get bacon butties & a freshly ground morning coffee.
Please bring your order confirmation (either printed or written on paper) with you to display on your dash & check in at our main building with it. When making the booking you don’t have to select a date (there are loads of space), you just need your ticket number to be valid.
We welcome everyone to Honister; however, whilst our activities are designed to be accessible to most people, they do offer a degree of physical and mental challenges.
For some people with additional needs this may mean that additional equipment and/or persons will be required for safe participation, unfortunately due to the terrain and nature of the mountain we cannot permit wheelchair users on our tours as they involved 40 uneven steps.
Our visitor centre is wheelchair friendly and access for all toilet facilities can be found in our café.
If you are unsure or have any questions, please get in touch info@honister.com or 01768777230
