Ulverston is an old-fashioned market town with a cobblestone central street. It has several unique stores, cafes, and bars serving good ale and hearty food. From five-star restaurants to cosy neighbourhood pubs, there is truly something for every taste. During the summer, Ulverston hosts a variety of festivals, from a flag-raising and walking festival to an art and music festival, and in late November, the town hosts the world-famous Dickensian Christmas celebration. You can get a sense of the fun and community spirit of the place where Stan Laurel was born and where the largest foam pie battle in history was held. Stunning views of Morecambe Bay and the southern Lake District may be seen from the many walking trails that surround the city. The deepest, widest, and shortest canal in the world can be found here, and it provides for a great day stroll with a bar and bay views at its conclusion. The park's various points of interest are conveniently close. Aside from its sandy beaches, the Furness Coast is also a great place to go birdwatching. The South Lakes Wild Animal Park, Lakes Windermere and Coniston, and Birkrigg Common, famous for its breathtaking vistas of Morecambe Bay, are all within easy driving distance and are great for families.

What a Beautiful and peaceful place. On arrival we was met by the lovely hosts Carol and Ian. Really nice people and very helpful. There dogs Meg and Polly were an added bonus our kids loved them and so did we. The pods had everything you could need,were really nice inside and lovely and clean. The hot tub was an added bonus and a welcome treat after a long day Hiking. The pods are situated just outside Ulverston within walking distance of good restaurants, takeaways and pubs from which to choose. Also plenty of shops to get your essentials from.
