The Cark-and-Cartmel train station

Cark (often Cark ) is a place in Cumbria , which belonged to 1974 to Lancashire. The place is located about 3 km southwest of the town of Cartmel on the Cartmel peninsula .

The Cark-and-Cartmel Station on the Furness Line between Lancaster and Barrow-in-Furness , which is often referred to as Station Cark, located at the southern end of the village on the border to place Flookburgh . The station, which was opened on September 1, 1857 by the Ulverston and Lancaster Railway , also serves as a train station for Cartmel. The station was of particular importance due to the Holker Hall estate, located just under 800 m north of the village , which was formerly owned by the Duke of Devonshire and is now the seat of the Cavendish family , because special waiting rooms were provided for the Duke and his guests.

The River Eea flows through Cark.
