Why Cark?
If you can tear yourself away from your Cark cottage, the
picturesque village has much to offer, with its rich industrial
heritage at its heart. Explore the fascinating site of the
18th century water-powered cotton mill or take the short
stroll over to the magnificent Holker Hall, home to Lord Cavendish
and set within 200 acres of garden and woodlands which encompass a
deer park. 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. For
