Carnforth Station Heritage Centre

Reviewed By victoriac549 - Chester, United Kingdom

I visited the railway station many years ago because of a love of the film Brief Encounter. I was stunned by how much work has been carried out since I last visited. As well as details of the stations restoration there is a cinema which shows Brief Encounter on a loop in a small replica cinema and there is also a very interesting homage to David Lean. The centre is run by very friendly committed volunteers and is a really great experience it’s free but donations are welcome. If you’re a bit of a film buff I’d throughly recommend this absolutely lovely heritage centre.

The Snug Micropub

The first micropub to open in the North West on 1st August 2012. We serve real ale, gin, cider, wine and soft drinks. We do not have music, TV or gaming machines. We serve pints in 23oz marked glasses which means on top of a full pint you get a head up to 2cm on your beer, it's the northern way. We do not sell food other than crisps, peanuts, pork scratchings and pickled eggs. Dogs and well behaved children welcome.

Carnforth Bookshop

Carnforth Bookshop is an independent, family run bookshop at the heart of the historic town of Carnforth, Lancashire. We are proud to be part of the local community and support local jobs. The town is best know for its history with the railways and ironworks, and was famously used as a filming location for David Lean’s ‘Brief Encounter’ with the famous clock and refreshment room still an attraction today. The bookshop was established in 1977 and is situated across three floors and many rooms, although there was a much earlier bookshop on the site during the Victorian period. Nowadays we stock a wide variety of products, including New, Second Hand and Antiquarian Books, as well as a large selection of Maps. The shop also sells a large selection of Cards and Gifts, Children’s Toys, Stationery and Art Materials. We also have Seasonal Ranges in stock from Valentines Day and Easter, to Halloween and Christmas.

When I moved to Carnforth, I noticed the town bookshop. Then I started going to the bookshop and I thought, for a person who has been wild about books since she was small, somehow she’s moved to book heaven! It’s the kind of bookshop you visit on holiday and can’t wait to visit again the next year, except it’s down the street! They have a great selection of gifts, art supplies, stationery, new books, and a huge selection of used and rare books. Things for all price ranges with a complete terrific staff who love books, too!

Warton Crag

Reviewed By 798nh - Newton Le Willows, United Kingdom

Came here In-between lockdowns and it was a great place to get away from it all. Plenty of butterflies, birds and lizards to see along with some breathtaking views from the top. There are two ways up, one is pretty vertical up the cliff face the other is more gently but still requires a good pair of boots.
