Overview
Why Grange-over-Sands?
Grange-over-Sands is a very small parish by the sea sat
comfortably between the dramatic North Lakes and the rugged Irish
Sea. Historically the town was a small fishing village. However the
construction of the Furness railway transformed it into a charming
Edwardian resort.
The town is a now a centre for tourists exploring the southern
Lakeland Fells. Within the town itself there is an ornamental duck
pond and a traffic free promenade. Grange-over-Sands railway
station, which is incredibly picturesque, is situated on the
Furness Line, giving connections to Ulverston and Barrow-in-Furness
to the west, and Lancaster, Preston and Manchester to the east.
Notable attractions in Grange-over-Sands
Holker Hall and Gardens
The majestic red brick hall and its magnificent award winning
gardens are simply spectacular. Equally spellbinding on a late
summer's evening or a snowy winter's day.
Hampsfell Hospice
A small brick tower built by the Vicar of Cartmel in 1846 to
provide shelter to travellers. The uphill walk in Grange-over-Sands
should be just long enough to prepare for the jaw dropping views at
the top.
Lakeland Motor Museum
A shed full of old bangers I hear you ask? Not at all! More like an
insight into the dexterity of our forefathers and a tribute to
Donald Malcolm Campbell and his 'Blue Birds'.
