The A591 as it passes between Ambleside and Grasmere
The A591 is a major road in Cumbria, which lies almost entirely within the Lake District national park.[1] A 2009 poll by satellite navigation firm Garmin named the stretch of the road between Windermere and Keswick as the most popular road in Britain.[2][3] The 29.8 mile stretch between Kendal and Keswick was also named the UK's best driving road, according to a specially devised driving ratio formulated by car rental firm Avis.[4]
