CARTMEL VILLAGE

You’ll find our racecourse right on the fringe of the picturesque village of Cartmel in South Lakeland. Home of the famous sticky toffee pudding and well known as a foodie destination, Cartmel grew up around the impressive 12th century priory, which still stands to this day. 

Combine a day at the races with a mooch around the quaint streets leading from the historic market square. Sample a pint of local ale at Unsworth’s Yard Brewery or one of the four cosy pubs right on the doorstep. If you’re feeling peckish, numerous eateries offer everything from homemade cake to Michelin starred menus. Browse in a range of quirky shops selling everything from cheese to chandeliers, crafts and gifts to kitchen gadgets.

Once you have your racecourse wristband, you’re free to come and go into the village as you please.
