| Our monastery is situated on the Lancashire / Cumbria border, in the north west of England. It is an area renowned for its natural beauty. The region, with its crops of limestone, is designated an Area of Outstanding Beauty. To the north lies the Lake District with its spectacular scenery of glacial mountain peaks and ribbon lakes. To the east lies the more gentle Yorkshire Dales and the north Pennines. To the west is Morecambe Bay, with its infamous sands. Close proximity to the M6 and A6 ensures easy access to the monastery. Our nearest train station is Carnforth (3 miles) from which the Carnforth Connect Bus Line 1 serves the monastery. Find us by clicking here. Map Through our work of hospitality, we welcome those who wish to share the peace and prayerfulness of our monastic guesthouse and garden. |
