My partner took me for my birthday and I had the best day walking the wolves and seeing the foxes. Dee and Daniel were really lovely and so passionate about everything they do. It is a one of a kind experience and I would highly recommend to everyone. I cannot wait to book my second visit to see the majestic wolves and cute little foxes and I will defiantly be booking birds of prey! Thank you Dee and Daniel for offering such amazing experiences!

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.

6. Cartmel Racecourse
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 378 reviews
Racing has been taking place at Cartmel since 1856. Set against the backdrop of the beautiful English Lake District, Cartmel Races rekindles the spirit of the original steeplechases, attracting large crowds who gather within the centre of the racecourse for picnics, parties and a flutter on the horses. The two public enclosures offer a great variety of viewing and hospitality options, from relaxed picnics to fine dining. During race meetings, racegoers can browse the shopping and food outlets, and enjoy fairground entertainment. A great place for family and friends to gather, the events are both social and informal in nature. The surfaces are predominately grass parkland - high heels are not ideal! Outside of the racing calendar, the iconic Cartmel Racecourse becomes a splendid venue for a range of corporate and social events and functions. As a licensed wedding venue, Cartmel Racecourse also provides a truly unique setting for a wedding celebration. Cartmel Racecourse is easily accessible, located just 20 minutes from Junction 36 of the M6 motorway.

Came here for the May Bank Holiday Meetings and was amazed. We have been to quite a few racecourses but this was a real experience, never been to one like this one. it was fabulous, a real party atmosphere with fun fair and bbq's and everyone is allowed to take there own food and drink and have a picnic if they wish. You can't see a lot of the course when the horses are racing but it is still great fun and very entertaining. We were very lucky and got fabulous weather but unfortunately if you don't get the weather then this lovely little course would be a wash out. We really loved it so we are going back next year.

Amazing pizzas at the weekend, take away or to sit in the yard (heaters for cooler nights) with beer from brewery or wine from wine snug. Also recommend the sharing plates from the Wine Snug, really tasty especially when followed by the unbelievably yummy cheesecake. Just a really chilled place with every one of the small businesses complimenting each other.
