The PREVIOUS page will have brought you to this road junction, where you turn left along the A5087 for Conishead, Bardsea, Baycliffe, Aldingham, Rampside and Roa Island. Visitors to Conishead Priory should check in advance with the website to ensure that it is open. The Priory is open to the public for most of the year, but is closed during the two major Buddhist festivals.

Pass under the railway bridge

Through Dragley Beck.

Past the cemetery

Leaving the town behind and entering the Furness countryside. The Great Wall of Conishead is visible on the left hand side of the road in the distance.
|
If driving at night this is where the street lights end. The Great Wall stretches in an unbroken line on your left. Unusually for a Cumbrian dry stone wall, it is fitted with reflective amber cat's-eyes. The Conishead Priory entrance is at the far end of the Wall.

This is the entrance to Conishead Priory. Please drive slowly, the lane is narrow and the speed bumps have attitude. For Bardsea take the next fork to the right. A 20 mph speed limit is in force in the village. For Baycliffe, Aldingham, Rampside and Roa Island keep straight on along the main road.
