Greenodd

Greenodd is situated in the Furness area of Cumbria, and within the county of Lancashire. For local government purposes the town is also within the area of South Lakeland District. Greenodd is within the Crake Valley area of South Lakeland District. Greenodd and adjacent Penny Bridge are the main districts in the Crake Valley. The River Crake flows into the estuary of the River Leven at Greenodd.

The extensive, dense woodlands of the Rusland Valley once produced enormous quantities of coppiced wood for bobbins, barrels, tool handles and charcoal for local industry. Today this tranquil area, situated on the edge of the Lake District National Park, attracts visitors from all over Cumbria.

The Leven and Crake Valleys, through their copious amounts of charcoal and running water, supported industry and business throughout England. The two valleys were the main channels for the transport of goods and materials, and the busy port of Greenodd flourished with the export of slate, copper and wrought iron. This picturesque town which overlooks the Leven Estuary also sent tons of timber, lead and gunpowder overseas, which helped enormously with the local economy.

Situated just three miles north of Ulverston, Greenodd is within easy driving distance of the larger attractions in the Lake District, including: Lake Windermere, Coniston Water and Grasmere.

Greenodd was mentioned in the Doomsday Book as a Viking Settlement, and the village still retains plenty of its original charm and traditional values. If you enjoy history and culture, have a look around St Mary´s Church. For the more energetic visitors, there are plenty of woodland walks and trails around Greenodd. Fishing is also available in the Crake Estuary.

Once a lively port town, Greenodd, access to and from the area is available from Morecambe Bay.

Greenodd is the perfect destination for visitors to the Lake District who are looking for peace and quiet and some of the most stunning countryside in the region. The town centre now consists of a few shops, pubs and traditional cottages, and is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the friendly, laid back atmosphere.

The local pubs pride themselves on serving fresh Cumbrian produce and locally-brewed beers and the area represents Lakeland life at its best.

Enjoying easy access to the main Lake District destinations, including Windermere, Bowness, Ullswater and Keswick, you can find a wide range of accommodation nearby including: boutique hotels, romantic hotels, guest houses, themed hotels, organic hotels, holiday cottages and bed and breakfast accommodation.
