Dining in Cartmel is a well-established part of the village’s culture. Because of this, the postcard-perfect village is a favourite destination for not just hikers, but also foodies. Steeped in history, partly due to the 12th-century Cartmel Priory, Cartmel boasts a plethora of shops, traditional pubs and, most importantly, excellent restaurants, pubs and cafes.

Cartmel restaurants include big-hitters, even including restaurants that have previously made it into our prestigious SquareMeal Top 100 UK Restaurants list. This isn’t too surprising, given that there are some seriously famous chefs living there. As such you can choose from relaxed to fancy dining at all times of the day. No village, however, would be complete without afternoon tea, and Cartmel’s tea rooms and cafes offer some truly lovely ones. What better way to get cosy in this picturesque village?
