TEWITFIELD MARINA

Carnforth 3 miles; Kendal 14 miles; Windermere 19 miles.

Tewitfield Locks, on the Lancaster Canal, is situated just a few miles north of Carnforth, on the border of the Southern Lake District and the Western Dales. The locks, with the recent addition of a marina, have become a newly developed 'hamlet' with its own moorings, gardens, children's play area and popular country pub and restaurant. Nearby, there is an educational farm with its own craft centre, cafe, bakery and butcher's shop. Set in lovely rolling countryside, the area has much to offer, with the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis offering a tropical hall and butterfly house. Dallam Tower and Levens Hall provide a great day out for visitors, with Leighton Hall, Sizergh Castle, and the Great Lakes Aquarium, Windermere and Grizedale Forest, all within easy reach. From stunning limestone pavements and wonderful woodland walks, to beaches and scenic coastal paths, there really is something for everyone.
