Cartmel
Cartmel is a village in Cumbria, England, northwest of Grange-over-Sands close to the River Eea. The village takes its name from the Cartmel Peninsula, and was historically known as Kirkby in Cartmel. The village is the location of the 12th-century Cartmel Priory, around which it initially grew. Historically in Lancashire, since 1974 it has been in the administrative county of Cumbria. Whilst its history has been in its ecclesiastical and agricultural communities, Cartmel has since the mid-twentieth century developed as a minor tourist destination, being just outside the Lake District National Park. Several attractions in the village, including Cartmel Racecourse and a Michelin-starred restaurant, cater to this tourist trade. History The name Cartmel means ‘sandbank by rocky ground’, from the Old Norse (rocky ground) and .

Cartmel College is a residential college of Lancaster University, England and was founded in 1968. It is named after the Cartmel peninsula of Furness, "Lancashire north of the sands" which was once known as ''The Land of Cartmel''. The college buildings were originally sited at the north end of the university's Bailrigg campus and extended in 1969.

The college was also dominated by a number of large, multi-purpose grassed areas that were very popular during the warmer months. Extra residences were built in 1969 to cope with the expanding student population. Relocation In 2003 Cartmel’s College Syndicate decid ...

Cartmel Racecourse
Cartmel Racecourse is a small national hunt racecourse in the village of Cartmel, now in the ceremonial county of Cumbria, historically in Lancashire. Nine racedays are held each year, starting on the Whit Holiday weekend at the end of May and ending on the August Bank Holiday weekend in August Bank Holidays. The three-day May race meeting actually takes place over five days – allowing a day off for racegoers to enjoy the Lake District countryside in between each day at the races. The racegoers arrive so early in the day and leave so late that, unlike most racecourses, there is not time to clear up and turn the racecourse around for consecutive days racing. The two-day July meeting (taking place over three days, with a day off in-between) features the most valuable race at Cartmel, the Cumbria Crystal Hurdle Race, which is worth over £40,000. The August racemeeting features the Cartmel Cup (a hurdle race) and the Cavendish Cup (a steeplechase). Although the racecourse is co ...
