Getting there
By Road
M6 from North or South leave at A66 Junction (40)
Follow signs for Brough/Scotch Corner to next roundabout (Kemplay Bank A66/A688 junction) turn left to town centre.
A66 or A688 from east
Turn right at Kemplay Bank roundabout into Penrith (Old A6) going north.
A66 from west
Cross the M6 to next roundabout (Kemplay Bank), turn left (old A6) to town centre.
The Church is to the east of the main route (old A6) through the town centre, most easily approached using the third turning to the right after the mini-roundabout. Follow the road round to the left and try to park in the space just past the Job Centre. The Church is now ahead and to your left.
From the car park walk back in the direction you have come and the church is accessed via a set of steps opposite you across the main road.
Parking
There is a mixture of Disc and Pay parking. Penrith is a very busy town and spaces are not easily guaranteed near the Church, even in the evening. The best place is the south car park (Pay). At the mini-roundabout (see above) follow the signs for the car park. There is a short cut passage back to your access road, cross this and get onto main road in Penrith. Turn left and the church is accessible via a flight of steps just beyond the mini-car park at Lloyds Bank.
By Rail
West Coast mainline station in Penrith, though not all through trains from south or north stop.
