This article is about the A594 in Cumbria. For the Leicester ring road with that number, see A594 road (Leicester).

Curiously, the inner ring road in Leicester is also numbered as the A594.

The original route of the A594 was from Maryport to Penrith via Cockermouth, Keswick, Threlkeld, Penruddock and Greystoke. This route is now mostly parts of the A66, A591, A5271 and the B5288 roads. The road number changed to coincide with the opening of the M6 motorway through what is now Cumbria.
