Alternatively there is a lay-by big enough for 3 cars on the minor road near a + jucntion. Follow signs to Howtown from the centre of Pooley Bridge to reach a + junc (right to Howtown, left to Penrith, straight over (T) heading up towards Askham Fell.
Go left at junc towards Penrith, lay-by 50/100yrds on left.
Might not be as secure as the car park?
