Mansion built in the 1670s containing an informative local history museum.
Volunteer-run museum in a timber signal box built in 1891 and closed in 1984. The box was moved 150 yards to its present position in 1997, straddling flat-bed trolleys on both lines and shoved by volunteers. Ten of the lever mechanisms have been restored and you can have a go at pulling these and see the adjacent signals change. These are not on the operational line so you can't divert the Carlisle-bound train to Morecambe or vice versa.
This was discovered on the day of Queen Victoria's accession in 1837, and contained 130,000 year old mammal fossils. It's not a show cave, enter at your own risk.
