Access
No restrictions
No permission is required. Please be courtous to land owners and follow an reasonable requests they make. Park with respect and don't block gateways etc.
Park in one of the laybys a short distance up or down the road from the Yockenthwaite / Top Farm bridge. Approach via public footpaths until access land is reached just beyond the farm.
The land is owned by Yockenthwaite Farm. The farmer is very caver friendly, but is concerned about sheep theft, and the presence of unknown vehicles after dark, combined with lights on the fell, can raise alarm. Cavers parking in the Yockenthwaite Farm area - particularly cavers with vans - who are entering or exiting in the dark may wish to consider a friendly call/note to the farm just to put their mind at ease.
