The village also has a chocolate factory and tearoom. The network of small country lanes and villages is popular with cyclists. Village amenities are nearby including a popular local pub, a village store and post office. The picturesque town of Kendal, on the edge of the Lake District National Park, is the largest in South Lakeland.
