Dine at one of two traditional pubs before taking advantage of the excellent walking opportunities through the vast and unspoilt countryside, where you can easily access the sites of The National Hunt Racecourse, the Campbell Legend Bluebird Exhibition, and the Lakeland Motor Museum. If you do not want to drive during your holiday, you need not worry, as the village has its own railway station which offers easy transport links to Barrow-in-Furness, Lancaster, Ulverston and Grange-over-Sands.
