View of the Priory – Pat Rowland
Cartmel is a village with a 12th-century Priory, which survived the reformation, located uniquely between two streams, one flowing northwards and one flowing southwards. Today, Cartmel is also renowned for its racecourse, the l’Enclume restaurant and the sticky toffee pudding.
