The Lake District National Park Authority is working with partners to launch a summer shuttle bus which will run from tomorrow – Saturday – in the Buttermere valley to promote a more sustainable way to get around.
Emma Moody, the LDNPA’s lead strategy adviser for recreation and sustainable transport, said: “The shuttle bus has been very popular over the past couple of years, so we are delighted, with the help of our partners, to be able to bring it back for the 2023 season.
“We’ve received great feedback about how it makes the journey much more enjoyable and allows people to sit back and really take in the fantastic scenery while they are travelling.
“The Buttermere valley can get very busy with traffic during peak times so this is an ideal solution to ensure that people really can make the most out of their day.
“We will be promoting a range of sustainable travel options throughout the summer season including cycling, walking, sailing and using public transport so that even if visitors arrive at the Lake District by car, they can leave it behind and get around the park in different ways.
The Buttermere Shuttle Bus will run from Cockermouth Main Street to Buttermere via Lorton every Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday from May 13 to August 28.
There will be a small charge for this service. Adults will pay £2 per single journey, under 21s will pay £1.
Concessionary pass holders can travel free, and the service is included in the Stagecoach North West Explorer and Keswick and Honister Day Rider.
