Gleaston is a small village a mile from the Cumbrian coast, 5 miles from Ulverston. Gleaston's past is still visible in the remains of Gleaston Castle, and Gleaston Water Mill, which is open as a tourist attraction. The village has its own large village green, a small football pitch, a community hall and a children's playground, which are all owned and run by the villagers. In the year 2000, to celebrate the millennium, a short walk was created in a small piece of woodland adjacent to the green, behind the small stream. Nearby Aldingham had the reputation of being a smugglers' village, with brandy from France and tobacco from America supposedly hidden in the church crypt. The village is close to the spectacular Furness Abbey, and the ancient market town of Ulverston is just 5 miles away. Ulverston boasts a street market every Thursday and Saturday and many festivals throughout the year, including an amazing lantern procession in November and a superb Dickensian weekend in early December. With all the attractions of the Lake District National Park and the sandy beaches and good bird watching of the Furness Coast close by, this quiet and peaceful area has plenty to offer!
