Cartmel is a village in Cumbria, England, north-west of Grange-over-Sands and close to the River Eea. The village was once known as Kirkby in Cartmel, as it was the location of the church for the large parish of Cartmel. It is the location of the 12th century Cartmel Priory. Historically in Lancashire, boundary changes brought it into the newly created county of Cumbria in 1974. The village has more recently become known as the "home of sticky toffee pudding". This can be purchased in various sizes from the Cartmel Village Shop.〔(Village Shop )〕 Its racecourse hosts popular meetings two or three times a year, traditionally in Whit Week. The ancient parish was traditionally known as the Land of Cartmel - an area quite separate from the Furness peninsula. Holker Hall, associated with the Cavendish family and the Dukes of Devonshire, is located within the original boundaries of the parish. The village is served by the nearby Cark and Cartmel railway station opened in 1857 by the Ulverston and Lancaster Railway and which is currently served by the Furness Line. Cartmel College at the University of Lancaster is named after the Cartmel Peninsula. Recently, Cartmel has become noted for Simon Rogan's Michelin-starred restaurant, L'Enclume. There are also several gift shops through the village including Hales Chocolates and Perfect English. In Unsworth's Yard there is a new micro brewery, Cartmel Cheeses and an artisan bakery. Visitors can take a tour around Cartmel Park on a Lakeland Segway or have a horse-drawn carriage ride provided by Cartmel's Black Horses. 〔(Horses Friesian Stud )〕 == Education == Cartmel CofE Primary School is the village primary school. Cartmel Priory CofE School takes pupils aged 11–16 from around the Cartmel Peninsula. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cartmel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
