Here is an aerial photo of Cartmel village from Google maps. Our holiday cottage is about halfway up Barn Garth on the righthand side. On the map below you can see how close it is to The Square in the centre of the village and The Priory. The racecourse is just off the left side of the map.
Car
The post code for sat nav is LA11 6PP.
Leave the M6 at junction 36. Take the A590 towards Kendal. Turn off that road after a few miles (its still the A590) signposted to Barrow and Newby Bridge. After a few miles you'll see a sign post on the left to Cartmel. Follow the directions into the village. Turn right at the Spar shop and then take the first right after a few yards onto Barn Garth. The cottage is a hundred metres or so on the right. You can park outside the cottage.
Public transport
There is a regular direct train service from Manchester Airport via Manchester, Bolton, Chorley, Preston and Lancaster. Many national routes change at either Preston or Manchester from the South, East or Wales or Lancaster from the North.
The nearest railway station is Grange-Over-Sands which is only two miles away. Taxis are available in Grange or there is a regular bus service to Cartmel from Cark and Grange on the 532 Stagecoach bus service.
