Cartmel Coffee

Highlight • Cycleway

Great coffee and good place to hide a bike from the road. Ask inside first just to be polite. I also recommend their beans on toast - lovely. This is on Route 700 The Bay Cycleway.

The Mallard Tea Shop

Highlight • Cafe

An ace little cafe stop in Cartmel that's well worth a stop by and wonderfully cyclist-friendly. It's named after the ducks on the nearby River Eea that are always looking for crumbs!

Cartmel Priory

Highlight • Religious Site

Today, Cartmel Priory is the parish church of Cartmel, though it is a building steeped in history and culture. It was founded in 1189 by William Marshall, 1st Earl of Pembroke, as an Augustine priory.

In 1281, the Archbishop of York had to intervene with the priory, following disciplinary problems with its inhabitants. It suffered damage at the hands of the marauding Scots under Robert the Bruce in 1322. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the early 1530s, the villagers of Carmel claimed the building as their parish church.

Hampsfell Hospice Viewpoint

Highlight • Monument

"Hampsfell Hospiz", a robust limestone tower monument, built in 1846 by the vicar of Cartmel. It offers shelter in bad weather and extensive views in better conditions.
On the roof is a rough compass, allowing easy identification of nearby peaks and attractions.
Hampsfell is the subject of a chapter in Wainwright's book "The Outlying Fells of Lakeland".
