***
Old Bank House is set in the welcoming, unspoilt village of Cark in Cartmel on the Cartmel peninsula, an area famous for its rugged unspoilt coastal countryside, abundant wildlife and glorious racecourse. It is situated just quarter of a mile from Holker Hall, and just a few miles from Windermere, Sizergh Castle, Levens Hall, Coniston Water and the delights of the Lake District National Park. There are many beautiful footpaths and bridleways for walking and riding and indeed the Cumbrian Coastal Way passes through the village.
The village boasts two pubs, both of which provide good food and beer, a post office, a convenience store and a station which serves many easy day trip destinations along the picturesque coast. Cartmel, a five minute drive or a fifteen minute stroll through woods, boasts an additional four pubs, one of the country's best gastro restaurants and ancient cobbled streets.
For wildlife enthusiasts, nearby Morecambe Bay is a popular destination for birdwatchers whilst the unique South Lakes Wild Animal Park is only a short drive away and is a great day out for young and old alike. Emus and limas will welcome you and wander around the park with you!
There are two golf courses within a ten minute drive of Old Bank House: Grange Fell (015395 32536) just up the road or Grange Golf course (015395 33180),whilst tennis enthusiasts can enjoy the indoor tennis courts in Ulverston.
