Retirement properties in Carnforth

Carnforth itself has many attractions, such as Leighton Hall, the ancestral home of the furniture maker Gillow, Carnforth Bookshop with more than 100,000 second-hand and antiquarian books, and of course Carnforth railway station, famously used by Oscar-winning film director Sir David Lean in his 1945 classic, Brief Encounter. 

Another must-see attraction is the Nether Kellett Farmers Market - it's held on the second Sunday of every month at the Village Hall and is a great place to pick up produce and homemade food, as well as to admire local arts and crafts. For other shopping, Carnforth High Street has a number of independent retailers, as well as restaurants, cafes and pubs.  

Trains run to the Lake District, Lancaster, Manchester Airport and Skipton - making it easy to get out for a day trip or a quick holiday away from home.
