Hi, we're going to Ravenglass next week and the C&CC say Corney Fell isn't suitable for vans or motorhomes.
Does anyone know if the alternate route is signposted?
Cheers.

I presume the route shown on their website map linked (Travel button) from this page is suitable for any vehicle?
Their advice seems only about the possibility of SatNavs choosing an unsuitable route - "Access and SatNav Advice.
Sat Nav may take you over Corney Fell, which is unsuitable for caravans and motorhomes"

You know Bob, I never saw that travel advice!
Many thanks for showing me what I should have spotted myself.
Cheers.

No problem! Their website isn't the easiest to navigate - it takes at least a couple more clicks to download the pitch fees list, in very small print (yes, I know you can zoom in using Ctrl and + but it's not very user-friendly!).

You have to turn off the main road to get onto Corney Fell, which is basically a single track road over the fell used as a short cut by some locals and others in the know. Definitely unsuitable for motor homes, caravans and not for the faint hearted under any circumstances! The main road is single carriageway and quite narrow with many twists and turns and some ups and downs, so don't try to rush and enjoy the drive and the scenery.
