Holker Hall and Gardens

Holker Hall is the home of the Cavendish Family who welcome visitors of all ages to one of the best-loved stately homes in Britain. Magnificently situated only a short distance from Grange-over-Sands and the expanse of Morecambe Bay and is set in exceptionally beautiful countryside with gardens that merge into Parkland, framed by the Lakeland Hills.

Was extremely lucky with the weather, as we walked around the large deer park and then stopped off for a light lunch in the courtyard cafe. Nothing can be faulted, warm professional welcome, sign posted one way system to manage the old Covid, very friendly staff encountered at every point. Tasty food well presented and reasonably priced. The doggy station of free treats and water is the best set up I’ve seen in a long time. All in the shadow of the imposing Victorian wing, which all being well shall be reopened soon as restrictions are lifted. I used to live close by as a youngster and it’s reassuring to see that the area has not lost any of its charm.

Prom Art at Grange-over-Sands held the first event of this year on 26th July. I have been attending regularly for several years. It was great to see so many sellers and a good amount of visitors. There is so many things to see and buy, jewellery, photography, paintings, glass art, wool goods, shabby chic housey goods, woodwork, metalwork etc. etc. This is a must if you are in or around Grange-over-Sands on the last Sunday of the month between April and September. The views over the bay are spectacular. There is two very good cafes on the Prom, both with take out facilities. Access to public toilets that take contactless card payments.

What an amazing Victorian/Edwardian/Bohemian style station ..... right on the promenade overlooking the sea/bay/estuary ...... in tip top condition and you step off into a waterside cumbrian town is right out of the 1920s/30s. The Furness Line trains ramble on by every hour each way ..... and what a way to explore this beautiful area away from the maddening crowds of the main Lake District. Just behind the station are some exceptionally pretty promenade gardens ...... Believe me this is just like being in the Northern Italian Lakes .... at a fraction of the cost.
