Holker Hall is a privately owned country house located in Cark in Cartmel, Cumbria.

It is the home of the Cavendish family who have lived here for 400 years.

In its day the hall was “the grandest building of its date”.

Furthermore, Holker is, without doubt, Cumbria’s premier stately home.

The house stands in an estate of about 80 hectares surrounded by formal gardens, parkland and woodland.

The house, gardens, café and local produce shop are open to visitors.

Additionally, the Holker Group, is run by the Cavendish family, employs 140 people.

Its businesses include Holker Hall and Gardens, two holiday parks and Cartmel racecourse.
