Turning off the A591 at the northern end of Thirlmere.

At the northern end of Thirlmere having driven over the dam, you are driving around the reservoir - after two miles or so, start watching for the large Armboth signs on your left (your right side, if coming from south Thirlmere. Note: there is another parking area called Armboth with a single sign - ingnore this and carry on driving north). This main parking area has a driveway taking you down to the Reservoir and also has toilets.

This site offers the deepest dive on the reservoir at 40 metres, but is relatively uneventful.

If you head out and then north, you will have to travel some distance before picking up the gradual slope down and then move in a north-easterly direction to reach the deep spots.

Alternatively, you can head out directly east with a depth of circa 22 metres before starting to come up on the opposite shore. Either way you may come across some trout in the central area during the day if lucky.

An Altitude dive at 671 feet so plan it accordingly.

The webmaster has not dived here - so few details known about this site.
