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.
