From Skipton there's a beautiful, quiet backroad route to come here through Halton East.
If you do pay to drive in, there's a fantastic kids/family cycle zone next to one of the car parks. It has little signposts and it's a wonderfully safe place for really little kids to get to grips with riding a bike. You can bring your own picnic too, so all in all it's a great day out.
