Cartmel is a village in Cumbria several miles west of Grange-over-Sands. It is traditionally in Lancashire but boundary changes brought it into the newly created county of Cumbria in 1974. The village is the location of the 12th century Cartmel Priory. The ancient parish was traditionally known as the Land of Cartmel - formerly regarded as an area quite separate from the Furness peninsular. Holker Hall, associated with the Cavendish family and the dukes of Devonshire, is located within the original boundaries of the parish.
