2. 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.

Overall Ratings

Micro brewery with tap bar and shop. Open every day, we will always find time to show visitors the brewery and offer a taste of our traditional ales. Situated in our licensed courtyard with our neighbours, Cartmel Cheeses & Bakehouse, Cartmel Drinkshop & Wine Snug and The Mallard Tea Shop. Late opening Friday & Saturday for stone-baked pizza, beer and wine in the courtyard.

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.
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.

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.
