WELCOME

Set in the heart of the English Lake District's Duddon Valley is the idyllic village of Ulpha with it's delightful Post Office.

Here you will find a village store offering provisions to the passing traveller as well as a Post Office offering the usual services.
The Duddon Valley has got to be the Lake District's best kept secret, hidden well away from the National Park's other attractions and largely overlooked by many visitors.
WHERE TO FIND US

 Ulpha is in one of the most isolated parts of the Lake District. It's isolation is one of it's charms, protected from much of the tourist traffic by the ramifications of Wrynose and Hardknott Passes to the north and the long coast road to the south. Turning off the M6 Motorway at Junction 36, proceed along the A590 towards Kendal. After about 3 miles (5 km), the A590 vears off to the left towards Grange Over Sands, Ulverston and Barrow in Furness. Before Ulverston, the A5092 for Broughton in Furness turns off to the right.
After Broughton in Furness 9 miles (14km) further on turn right immediately before a narrow bridge controlled by traffic lights. This takes you into the Duddon Valley where Ulpha is 3 miles (5km) further on.

Alternatively continue towards Kendal then Windermere along the A591. After Windermere town proceed through Ambleside and round the head of the lake and towards Coniston village along the A593. A mile (1.6km) after Skelwith Bridge, a small road to the right takes you to the Wrynose Pass road. Wrynose Pass is an arduous climb to over 1290 feet (390 metres) on a narrow road with passing places. During the summer it can get congested and often very tedious with slow progress. Descending from Wrynose Pass, you arrive at an isolated house at a junction, Cockley Beck. The road to the right takes much of the traffic onwards to Hardknott Pass. To the left is the quiet road to Broughton in Furness via Duddon Valley. 7 miles (11km) along the valley is Ulpha and it's Post Office.
