Sitting on the southern edge of Cumbria and enjoying fantastic far-reaching views across Morecambe Bay, the quiet town of Grange-over-Sands is a popular place to call home. With excellent connections to The Lakes and Furness peninsula, the Victorian town also benefits from an array of cafes, independent shops and features the Grade II listed Grange Lido.
Originally a fishing village, the arrival of the railway in 1857 brought a new lease of life to Grange as a popular seaside resort. The railway station now connects the town to Cartmel, Ulverston and Barrow, as well as Arnside, Lancaster and Manchester to the south. Buses often travel between Grange, Kendal and The Lake District to provide an excellent transport link to some beautiful areas such as Bowness-on-Windermere.
Ideal for family living, Grange-over-Sands is home to an exceptional primary school and provides access to both Cartmel Priory and Dallam secondary schools. The Promenade offers great walks and play areas and hosts a regular craft fair throughout the Summer which is a great place to discover local artists and makers. The ornamental gardens are a lovely place to sit and relax whilst the town centre is bustling with popular cafes, coffee shops and independent businesses.
With a wealth of history to discover in the area, visits to Holker Hall and Cartmel Priory provide a great day out. Holker Hall sits 2km from Cartmel and is open to the public all year round, for a beautiful Springtime wander through the gardens or a visit to Holker Christmas markets to get into the festive spirit. Cartmel is also home to not one, but two Michelin star restaurants, L’Enclume and Rogan & Co, as well as Cartmel races and the famous Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding shop, making the village a must-visit destination.
