Nestled on the edge of the Lake District National Park, on the A595, the Greyhound Inn is an ideally located base for exploring the Cumbrian Countryside & Furness Pennisular
Popular tourist attractions such as Coniston & Windermere are only a short drive away or the peace & quiet of the distant hills will call the dedicated walkers further afield.
Local markets towns,such as Barrow & Ulverston with it's quaint cobbled streets & market cross are worth a visit.
Take the children to our Wildlife Park, Darkest Muncaster Castle(where they can interact with the owls) or round Sellofield visitor centre to learn of our nuclear power heritage.Barrow's Dock Museum chronicles the Ship-building & Maritme connections which were the back-bone of the town in days gone by.
There is also the Beatrix Potter museum for children of all ages.
Historians may like to visit Furness Abbey & Piel Castle with their history of smuggling & shipwreck.
To appeal to naturalists, we have miles of unspoilt coastline along the Duddon & Morecambe Bay estuaries giving home to Natterjack Toads & a wild bird santuary on the southern tip of Walney Island.
The hills & woodland round Grizebeck are home to many species of birds & animals,including a very shy colony of Red Squirrels.
The less-energetic nature lover may enjoy a stroll across the road from the Greyhound & up the lane leading to Ashlack Hall. This runs alongside the "beck" for most of the route & once through the grounds of Ashlack, continues up the fellside,offering spectacular views of the Duddon estuary & across to Millom,on a clear day Blackpool & the Isle of Mann can be seen.
For those visitors choosing to explore our local countryside,we can provide a packed lunch & thermos flask to sustain you through your day..
