St. Anthony's Church, Cartmel Fell
nickandchris Says: As churches go, this is a beauty. Located in a beautiful place, up a dead end lane and with rural views, it is a moving church to visit. It is the only church in England dedicated to St. Anthony and was built in 1504.It is actually built on a slope, which is obvious from the...
nickandchris Says: Yes, Bowland Bridge is fortunate enough to have retained it's village shop/Post Office, where a wonderful selection of goodies can be purchased. Like many of these traditional shops, it stocks a range of local produce.Be warned, however, that as this is also a Post Office,...
nickandchris Says: This is somewhere we just decided to visit on the spur of the moment, on the off-chance it might be open. It was but it wasn't exactly what we had anticipated. The lovely house is private but you can look round the pretty gardens and have a ramble along the footpaths through...
Borderside Farm CL.: A Real Rural Retreat
nickandchris Says: A most marvellous location, tucked in off a very minor road.Although there were a couple of caravans here, they were unoccupied, as were a couple of very small tents that seemed to have been abandoned. We literally had the whole 3 acres to ourselves apart from a flock of...

nickandchris Says: Only being here for one night, we didn't feel the need to eat out. We did notice this little cafe tucked on to the Post Offce and general shop. It offered soup and sandwiches and cakes. For anyone walking in this imediate area, it is the only place, currently, offering food.
nickandchris Says: In May 2008 we ended up back on this road, would you believe in the motorhome!! We were trying to find the campsite and took a wrong turning. Looking at the map I said,"This is the road with the ford on. I don't think we should go down here." "Too late now" says Nick,"...
nickandchris Says: As I've said, there are lots of narrow country roads in this area and travelling them on a motorbike on a warm October day was simply brilliant.Most of them were too narrow to have travelled comfortably in the van so the bike was a great alternative and allowed us to potter...
nickandchris Says: When I was a child, my parents often made family outings to the church at Cartmel Fell. We would take a picnic and usually as many friends as we could fit in our VW. Beetle. We'd park by the old school, now the Parish hall, and unload the picnic, as well as containers for...

This page is about an area rather than one place and includes Witherslack and Cartmel Fell. I put it under Bowland Bridge because that is very close to where we based ourselves. There is an area...
