👍👍 What a truly beautiful place! A former Catholic seminary for over 200 years until 2011 now open to the public and with rooms. We were met by Sam the duty manager who is very friendly and informative. Our room was excellent. There are 9 beautiful chapels here and an art gallery. The place feels full...

Outdoor attraction with a range of activities, from mini-golf & zip-lines to kayaking & archery.

👍👍 Popped in for lunch after a quick Google search. It's a beautiful quaint building, indoor and outdoor seating. Food was as lovely, I had a bacon and cheese quiche with orzo pasta side salad. It was delicious, a lovely light lunch. Even followed it with a chocolate drizzle flatjack that was very mori...

2-storey art and crafts gallery in large, former warehouse with exposed bricks and stripped floors.

A former 19th-century coal mine now a museum and heritage centre for art and local historic relics.

👍👍 Wonderful place.... Very informative exhibition suitable for all ages...lovely gift shop and tea room. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Sounding area has lovely woodlands and walks. Ideal for picnics too.

👍👍 Best fish and chips in Cumbria! With excellent gluten free options available too. My other half was well impressed as decent gluten free choice is hard to come by.

👍👍 Went to see the band China Crisis here and it was absolutely fantastic. Again the group was outstanding and just never fail to impress. The sound in the hall was very good. The Witham was an excellent run venue and what I find incredible is access and parking all so near without the agro of trying t...

18th-20th century British oil paintings & watercolours on display in vaulted-ceilinged galleries.

👍👍 Visited Thursday 19th Oct. A lovely place to spend a couple of hours. Good clean tea rooms with friendly staff. Dog friendly in the cafe but not in the galleries. Interesting history of textiles aimed at all ages. Fabulous, quality crafts to buy. Prices from a few pounds upwards. Brilliant for a...

Gallery housing Dutch, Flemish and Victorian art and contemporary British craft and design items.

👍👍 I called in (the first time in several years) whilst cycling home on Sustrans NCN1 as I felt seriously in need of sustenance (cake). As indicated it's been a while since my last visit when I purchased some very nice Ravilious cards. I've always liked the gallery's owners/picture selectors taste in a...

👍👍 Stayed here 2 years ago and must say it was the best 2 weeks of my life, the cottage was lovely and the studio next door made a lovely morning coffee spot. I highly recommed to anyone wjth kids.

🫤 Very Friendly community shop run by volunteers who are not always well versed on how the till works or the stock and prices so patience is needed And rewarded with smiles and laughter. Don’t expect to be able to park outside the shop.

Community enterprise with restaurant/bar, artisan food-sellers, cinema, gallery and heritage centre.

👍👍 100% worth a visit if you're interested in photography. The photographs are stunning and it's such a quiet relaxing place with lovely staff. Such a shame that it's closing down so make sure to visit before that happens! Free and dog-friendly with a cafe too but the cafe isn't dog friendly. It's a lo...

😐 Quite a diverse mixture of different things in this building. There's a small section on how the War years affected the area, then a bit on the industries if the area like fishing, shipping, coal mining and glass manufacture. I think they should get rid of "creature corner" not nice to see a live Py...

Striking slate and limestone gallery housing modern art exhibitions, plus a roof terrace and cafe.

👍👍 My friend brought me here as a treat; ticket to the mining gallery includes visit to the tower and castle too. Beautiful selection of mining themed artwork with very knowledgeable and friendly staff. This is well worth a visit. Check out the magazine too. Shop with postcard prints onsite.
