The area

The village of Holme lies adjacent to the Lancaster Canal, West Coast Main Line and M6 motorway so you’ll be able to explore the area with ease when staying here.

Amenities in the village include a public house called The Smithy Inn, a village hall, a playing field, a cricket pitch, and Holy Trinity Church.

Nearby Carnforth was just perfect for Oscar-winning director, Sir David Lean, when he chose the town’s railway station to film the most iconic scenes for his 1945 classic Brief Encounter, described as one of the greatest romantic films of all time. All these years on, you can watch the film in Carnforth station heritage centre at Carnforth railway station - winner of the 2019 tourism award! The heritage centre offers exhibitions, regular events and a gift shop. You can even take your picture under the famous clock which featured so prominently.

Carnforth is home to many independent shops but if outdoor pursuits are more your style, Warton Crag overlooks Carnforth.

Less than half and hour by car is Bowness and Windermere, probably one of the most popular destinations in the Lake District. Ambleside also just another five minutes from there with Grasmere and other lakes all easily reachable from the property.

Kirkby Lonsdale is market town that was voted as the best place to live in 2022. Here you'll find lots of small independent shops and plenty of bars, along with restaurants. All in all this is a very popular location locally.

Head to Ingleton to enjoy a waterfall walk and Ingleborough, or visit Greenlands where there are a range of things to do for families including soft play and crazy golf. You'll also find an hour-long walk down the canal, or alternatively you can take the bus route for a pleasant round trip.
