The most picturesque village in the Lake District is widely acknowledged to be the mediaeval South Lakeland community of Cartmel. With its gatehouse serving as the village’s entry, the Priory Church, one of the finest ecclesiastical structures in northern England, continues to be the centre of the neighbourhood. Beautiful streamside walks, charming, cobbled streets lined with antique shops, a charming gift shop, warm, traditional pubs serving real ale, the nationally acclaimed, Michelin Star-awarded L’Enclume restaurant, and the Cartmel Village shop, which sells the world-famous sticky toffee pudding are all found in the village. Take advantage of the fantastic walking options in the stunning, unspoiled countryside, and travel nearby to the Cartmel Racecourse, the Campbell Legend Bluebird Exhibition, the Lakeland Motor Museum, and Holker Hall with its magnificent gardens.
