TheA592 road is a major route running north–south through theEnglishLake District.
The road connectsPenrith(54°39′50″N2°45′09″W / 54.6639°N 2.7524°W /54.6639; -2.7524 (A592 road (northern end))), and junction 40 of theM6 motorway), withStaveley at the southern tip of the lake,Windermere,(54°16′02″N2°58′01″W / 54.2672°N 2.9669°W /54.2672; -2.9669 (A592 road (northern end))), which is skirted by the A592 on its eastern bank; the road also follows the northern/western bank ofUllswater. It passes throughGlenridding,Patterdale, the town ofWindermere (where it crosses theA591 road),Bowness-on-Windermere andStorrs.
The total length is just under 34 miles (55 km), including a shortconcurrency with theA66 road to the west of the motorway junction.
The A592 crossesKirkstone Pass with a summit at 454 metres (1,490 ft)[1] and is frequently closed in winter.
The road over the Kirkstone Pass is currently closed on the southern side, due to a landslip aboveTroutbeck in November 2025.[2] A spokesperson for Westmorland and Furness Council said it was unlikely that repair work on this stretch of road would commence before spring 2026, given the steepness of the land both immediately above and below the road, and the wet and icy weather common at this time of year.[2]
