Visited and enjoyed the excellent cafe midway through a local walk.
The first major gathering point and organisation for the Quaker movement. It was interesting to learn more about this religious sect and to see a historic house. The cafe was also pleasant and parking is on site
This is NOT a hotel, Google!
This is the place where George Fox began Quakerism in the 17th century. It is full of interest and a quiet place for contemplation.
Really peaceful gardens surround it.

We visited this old house and although not all of the upper floors are viewable there is plenty to see. It is a lovely 16th c property that was refurbed 100 years ago. The Fox connection makes it historically important and well worth a visit. A nice little cafe too.
Visited Swarthmoor Hall in Ulverston today—a modest 17th-century home with a big place in Quaker history. Once home to Thomas and Margaret Fell, it welcomed frequent visitor George Fox, the movement’s founder. After Thomas’s death, Margaret married Fox, and his carved travel trunk still sits in the bedroom. The house’s dark wood interiors and peaceful gardens offer a quiet glimpse into the past. Not a long visit, but a rewarding one for anyone interested in history and heritage.
Had a first aid course here, beautiful surroundings well worth a visit
