Greenodd, Nr Ulverston, Cumbria.
Greenodd is a village in the Furness area of the county of Cumbria, England, but within the historical county of Lancashire. For local government purposes the village is also within the area of South Lakeland District. It is located 3 miles (5 km) north-east of Ulverston at the junction of the A590 trunk road and the A5092 trunk road. The village is just outside the boundary of the Lake District National Park at 54°14′N 3°3′W (OS grid ref. SD 315825). Greenodd is within the Crake Valley area of South Lakeland District.
The 2001 UK census gives a population of 1823 for the Crake Valley. 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 name Greenodd is of Scandinavian origin, the odd meaning ness (headland) in this case (the name translates literally as 'The Green Promontory'). Swedish toponymist Eilert Ekwall speculated that the name was not an old one, as 'odd' remained part of the Lancashire dialect until at least the early 20th century.
In the late-18th and early-19th centuries Greenodd was a significant port; a creek-port of Lancaster. Exports included copper ore from Coniston, locally quarried limestone, and gunpowder from the nearby settlement of Backbarrow. Sugar, raw cotton and coal are listed in historical documents as some of the imports. Greenodd was also a shipbuilding centre with vessels up to 200 tons being constructed. On the darker side it is likely that Greenodd was involved in the North American slave trade. Today there are no signs of the former commercial activities. The Ship Inn, previously a warehouse on the quayside, is one of the few reminders of Greenodd's illustrious past.
Until the 1980s Greenodd was on the A590 trunk road from Barrow to Levens Bridge. Traffic volumes were a major problem for the small village. These problems were alleviated by the building of a bypass to take the traffic over a new bridge across the River Crake. The village is now effectively a cul-de-sac. Greenodd railway station was served by the Lakeside branch of the Furness Railway from 1869 until its closure in 1965. Today there is no trace of the railway, the station having been demolished to make way for a dual-carriageway road. Greenodd is now also on the W2W Cycle Route between Walney and Wearmouth.

Fell Foot Park is a great family friendly location to play in and explore the southern tip of Lake Windermere. There's plenty of open space for traditional family bat, ball and frisbee games, festooned with picnics and gentle walks including an educational tree trail which will lead you around a lot of the park. If you're feeling a bit more active (good for you!) you can dip into the lake via paddling, swimming, boating and kayaking. Family rowing boats for hire here April through October and comfy kayaks are available 19 July through 31 August (also the availability dates of the new climbing wall!) and the adventure playground offers fun for all ages and is open year round offering physical and imagination play to kids between 2 and 12, including that climbing wall we mentioned!
There are loads of events held here ranging from major park festivals to quiet evening guided bat walks! Plenty to supplement an already great day out if you give it a bit of planning. If you'd rather take things more whimsically however, remember you can hit up DOWTK on your mobile to see what we've got for you nearby. Fun on the hop? That's us!

If you're feeling a bit more active (good for you!) you can dip into the lake via paddling, swimming, boating and kayaking. Family rowing boats for hire here April through October and comfy kayaks are available 19 July through 31 August (also the availability dates of the new climbing wall!) and the adventure playground offers fun for all ages and is open year round offering physical and imagination play to kids between 2 and 12, including that climbing wall we mentioned!
There are loads of events held here ranging from major park festivals to quiet evening guided bat walks! Plenty to supplement an already great day out if you give it a bit of planning. If you'd rather take things more whimsically however, remember you can hit up DOWTK on your mobile to see what we've got for you nearby. Fun on the hop? That's us!

Furness Abbey is a really stunning historic ruin with plenty of features to explore, plus a lot of green space around it to run about in and see it from all angles, or to play hide and seek. There is also a historically themed book box available in the Visitor Centre plus extra activities and resources are laid out in the education room during major school holidays.
The height of the soaring red sandstone walls will surprise you and you can see why restoration work is being done to stop them sinking into the ground!
There is some interesting information to discover in the Visitor Centre, plus there is a small museum, which has medieval treasure on display. These include a staff of office called a crozier and an impressive gilded silver ring set with a white stone that was found on the hand of a bishop in his grave. You can also see a remarkable collection of rare stone effigies.
The many buildings that make up the abbey include the Precinct, Cloister Court, and Chapter House, the dormitory, kitchen and infirmary. With so many buildings still visible, you get a really good idea of how big it must have been when all in one piece.

Once home to National Trust founder Canon Rawnsley, Allan Bank isn’t a typical National Trust experience. Only partially decorated, the bare walls and empty rooms focus the eye on Grasmere's valley unfolding from the picture window. The grounds and the landscape are the focus here. You could watch red squirrels as you relax in the garden, picnic on the lawn, or explore the woods. The welcoming village of Grasmere is nestled with its two picturesque lakes against a dramatic backdrop of Lake District fells. It's the perfect place to come explore, relax, reflect and be inspired by the views, just like William Wordsworth was.
If you'd like a bite to eat, please drop by one of the many village cafés or shops in Grasmere. You are welcome to bring a picnic to Allan Bank.

Gothic Revival Castle -180 years ago a surgeon and an heiress from Liverpool began building a castle that would only ever have to defend itself from the Cumbrian weather.
With all the furniture and artwork long gone and the last family moving out in the 1920s, the castle has had mixed uses and only opened to visitors in 2011.
The castle has church-like interiors and panoramic Lake District views. It is still a work in progress and we’re continually learning about its past.

Blackwell – the Arts & Crafts house is a rare architectural gem in the heart of the Lake District and offers a perfectly preserved snapshot of early 20th-century living.
Designed by noted architect Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott, this stunning Grade I listed building is one of the UK’s finest examples of Arts & Crafts architecture and with remarkable views towards the Coniston Fells, it’s a house that never fails to inspire.
Completed in 1901, the house was originally built as a holiday home and haven from bustling Manchester life, for brewer Sir Edward and Lady Holt and their five children.
From 1941, it became a school for Huyton College in Liverpool, then Blackwell School until 1976.
