Lots of shops to explore and buy art crafts and pottery from. The potters/artists/cafe people are very kind and friendly. The carpark is reasonably sized so you should be able to park, if not park nearby. Its definitely worth a visit...

Considering it basically free entry- (donations welcome) it's worth a visit. The art/pottery/jewellery shops might interest you. The castle walls will entertain the kids. Dads will love the choice of beers to enjoy in the sun or under the tents if the weather isn't so good. Great for less abled as parking is as close as it gets. Best little coffee shop I have been to recently. Great service, choice of drinks hot and cold. Lovely cakes.

Lovely spot to explore after a local walk along the Eamont to the henges, Arthur's Table and Maybrugh and visiting Brougham Castle. The craft shops are great places to look for gifts. The café is brilliant and can cater for gf and vegan diets. Their vegan cakes are amazing!
