The area of Grange and Cartmel sits on the southern fringe of the Lake District and alongside the tidal flats of Morecambe Bay, within the unitary authority of Westmorland and Furness. It includes the Victorian resort of Grange‑over‑Sands with its palm‑lined promenade and quiet estuary views, and the compact medieval village of Cartmel centred on Cartmel Priory.
Locally the economy blends tourism and agriculture - holiday accommodation, artisan shops and noteworthy restaurants in Cartmel, plus events such as meetings at Cartmel Racecourse, bring visitors year‑round; at the same time community groups are active in protecting the coastal marshes and the distinct historic character of streets and buildings.
