Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Cark and Cartmel railway station is a railway station that serves the villages of Cark, Flookburgh and Cartmel in Cumbria, England. It is located on the Furness Line from Barrow-in-Furness to Lancaster. The station is architecturally interesting, with a main building erected by the Ulverston and Lancaster Railway in 1857. The station had a particular importance, as it serves Holker Hall, the home of Lord Cavendish of Furness formerly belonging to the Dukes of Devonshire. Special waiting rooms were provided for the dukes and their guests. The actual building retains many original features and is now a private residence. It extends to approximately one acre of gardens and woodland.
