Our Recommendations

Where to eat and places to visit!

Places to eat

We highly recommend the Crown Pub. They also offer West Point House guests 10% off food! In the summer they have a lovely Pub garden to enjoy a nice pub meal and a cool beverage. They are very popular so we do recommend to book in advance if you wish to dine here.

The Round House Hub and Cafe is located on Biggar Bank and has beautiful panoramic views of the shore. On a clear day you can see Isle of Man and Black Combe. ( Open most days 10 - 4)

Tavs Burger Van - Only a 5 minute walk away. They serve hot and cold food and has plenty of picnic benches outside. Popular with Bikers!

Places to Visit

Earnse Bay Beach is a small sand and shingle beach. It is only a 8 minute walk away! This beach is popular with windsurfing and in the evening is a perfect spot to watch the sunset.
If you walk to the right across the bay this leads to the North Walney Nature Reserve. There are lovely views towards Black Combe and is the perfect spot for bird watching.

The Dock Museum is located across the bridge and left at the traffic lights. There's lots to see for people of all ages. There's themed galleries, quizzes, cafe, playground, picnic tables, free parking and free WiFi. Museum shop with gifts for all ages.
