Carnforth Holidays

Lancashire breaks offer the best of low-cost UK holidays, and destinations don't come any better sited than Carnforth, near the coast yet within easy reach both of Lancashire's many attractions and the delights of the Lake District. Of course, for some, Carnforth holidays can mean only one thing: Carnforth Station, made famous as the setting for David Lean's Brief Encounter. Now lovingly restored, the station features tea rooms that resemble the film set and a heritage centre covers the story of the film and the history of Carnforth, too. But there's much more to do. Walkers will enjoy the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its limestone hills and ancient woodland. There's also great fishing at Redwell Fisheries and the chance to find out about farming and buy local crafts and produce at Greenlands Farm Village, while meeting the farm animals.

 

Low-cost UK holidays in Carnforth put you not only near the wild and wonderful Lancashire coast but also within striking distance of the beautiful Lake District, England's most scenic county. Moving east across lovely Lancashire, the well-marked trails of the Forest of Bowland and the West Pennine moors await discovery. To the south lies the UK's biggest tourist destination, Blackpool, with its Pleasure Beach, lights and tower. Nature-lovers should visit Leighton Moss Nature Reserve or Martin Mere bird sanctuary on these low-cost UK holidays. Stately homes and country walks abound, but if it's bright lights you're after, Lancaster, Preston and Manchester are within easy reach, making Carnforth an ideal choice for family holidays in the UK.

 

Accommodation on Carnforth holidays ranges from holiday cottages, holiday lodges and holiday parks, which can be found in abundance, to quality hotels such as the Glenthorne, the Ashton Lancaster, and the County. For budget accommodation that gets you back to nature, camping and caravanning sites are plentiful, while Lancashire has many cosy, low-cost bed and breakfasts. These are often to be found in gorgeous villages that await discovery on these unique Lancashire holidays in the UK.
