on the line were you can stay for a self-catering break.

is on the platform as you get off the train! With 7 trains
calling each way on weekdays and Saturday's it’s
well connected to the rest of the national rail network,
(there is a good bus service from Oxenholme). Or if you
come by car, the station is a 15 minute hop from junction
38 on the M6.

and boasting a good range of amenities. The area is rich in heritage and history, with everything from prehistoric stone circles to romantic castles and restoration projects
