The village of Cark lies on the Cartmel Peninsula, about eight miles south from the foot of Lake Windermere. Very close to the coast, you have Flookburgh famous for its shrimps, and Humphrey Head, a decent bit of rock jutting out into the Morecambe Bay where you can explore the many little rock pools.

The village is very pretty, a huddle of houses and a few shops and a good pub, the Engine Inn. The most important building is Holker Hall. Here you can visit the house and its beautiful gardens along with the Food Hall and restaurant, both set in an elegant Courtyard and offering visitors fine local produce.

Close by lies the neighboring village of Cartmel. Picture perfect it has ancient buildings, an impressive medieval priory, a towering arch and a sweet, clear river, all centered on a sunny square. Another plus for Cartmel is its host fine inns and restaurants, notable Simon Rogan’s two venues, L’enclume and Rogan’s Wine Bar.

Throughout the peninsular there are little lanes perfect for cycling and some easy walks. Hampsfell is a huge limestone fell with perfect views of the mountains to the north and the coast to the south. From Hampsfell there is a decent woodland to explore and brings you down to the village of Grange over Sands.

Travel north and you have the Furness Fells which encompass Windermere and Coniston Water along with the Grizedale Forest, a great day out for both walkers and Mountain Bikers.
