The village of Flookburgh, located on the borders of the great Lake District and close to the shores of Morecambe Bay, makes an excellent base from which to explore this fascinating and stunning region. It is believed that the name of the settlement is derived from the locally obtained fluke fish. Flookburgh, which is now home to cockle and shrimp fishermen, was originally a well-liked resting place for visitors coming from Lancaster across the dunes. The community has a pub, a grocery store, a pharmacy, a post office, and two eating establishments. A short walk from the settlement is lovely countryside, including Humphrey Head, views of the bay with its wading bird life, and Coniston's mountain range. The Cumbrian Coastal Way also passes close by. Historic Cartmel, with its lovely Priory, well-liked racecourse, antique and gift stores, bars and restaurants, including the Michelin Star-rated L'Enclume, is reachable in a few minutes by car or on a nice off-road stroll. The lovely Holker Hall house and gardens are just over a mile away, and just six miles to the north in Bigland you can go horseback riding. You can also visit the Edwardian resort of Grange, which has a variety of hotels, eateries, shops, a pedestrian promenade, ornamental gardens, and golf courses.
