Travel
Accommodation
Penrith and Carlisle both have good accommodation options and are within a taxi ride of the venue. Budget accommodation options in Carlisle include Travelodge, ibis, Carlisle Station Hotel, and Premier Inn (a little further away from the rail station).
Getting here
Both Penrith and Carlisle are accessible by car via the M6 or train on several lines (e.g. London-Glasgow).
Planes
If flying into the UK, the nearest large airports for international flights are Manchester and Edinburgh, but there are also good train links to London airports. If you prefer to fly into London, we recommend Heathrow for connections to the Lake District rather than Gatwick or Stansted.
Trains
If travelling by train, we recommend that you allow plenty of extra time as there are frequent delays or even cancellations. We recommend downloading the Trainline app for ease of travelling, and potentially buying a Railcard if applicable (e.g. Two Together or age 26-30 cards). Note that while Dalston does have a train station, there is no safe pedestrian path all the way to Dalston Hall.
& Automobiles
There are plenty of parking spaces at Dalston Hall. The roads in Cumbria can be quite narrow with the occasional tractor traffic or sheep crossing - please be careful. Don't forget to drive on the left!
Taxis
There is a taxi rank outside of Carlisle Rail station, which is approximately a 10-minute taxi ride from the venue. We recommend that you carry cash as some drivers do not accept card.
Hike after the wedding
We are looking to go for a short and gentle hike in the Lake District the day after the wedding (after lunch, so you can sleep in!). You are all invited — please feel free to come along.
The route is not decided yet, although the location will be reachable by bus or car.
We will scout for numbers nearer the time and create WhatsApp groups as and when to coordinate. Check back to this page closer to the time!
