Information Desk


We have helpful and friendly staff on duty every day. We are used to typical (and unusual!) questions about the National Park. We have a wealth of knowledge about the popular sites and the lesser known gems of the area.

If you need help getting here, getting around or simply want to know how high the highest peak is - we can help.  If you want to phone us, you can reach us during normal opening hours on 01874 623366. At busy times we may take your details and call you back.

You can ask us a question online using this form  - bear in mind we have busy times at the Centre and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
