There is a small shop in the village, just behind the main street.

If you need any information about the area just yell, we live about 20 minutes away.

Some places in the area you might like to visit

Muncaster Castle and Grounds

The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway

Sellafield Visitor Centre

The Rum Story, Whitehaven

Whitehaven itself, good for shopping as it has a Tesco, Morrisons, Aldi, Netto, Lidl, Iceland, Argos, Woolworths, B&M Bargains, Ethel Austin, New Look etc etc and it also has HSBC, Barclays, Natwest banks among others. There is a lovely Harbour area which is worth a look around and as it is a working Harbour/dock area, thee are plenty of boats to see.

The Wetherspoons does a good lunch or evening meal and if you want fish and chips go to George`s in the Market Place, lovely fish and chips and it has a cafe upstairs. The Golden Lion cafe in the Market is also nice, OH and I go there for lunch some days when I am at work.

Hope that helps?

Just allow plenty of time the roads are twisting and a bit tight but it can be done with no major panic our problem was that we did it all in one go next time would stay just off M6 and then do the journey on to Ravenglass next day. We will go back as it it is one our favorite sites - Enjoy

PS We had pitch 28

The World Owl Centre in Muncaster Castle grounds is well worth a visit.  The entrance is only about half a mile up the road from the site.
