Blue Moon Thai Restaurant
6 Rosemary Ln
Award winning 'flat whites', great cakes and their shop next door is worth a visit too. It's been going since 1837 and you feel like you're going back in time! The Hall is licensed and often open in the evenings, sometimes with live music.

Sightseeing

It's right next door! Just 2 minutes walk to the entrance! Regular tours every day and frequent events. Lancaster Castle is owned by the Queen and was a prison until 2010. Parts of The Castle are approx 1000 years old and it is steeped in stories about witches, etc. Definitely worth a visit.

Nature Tours:- If you love nature and would like a tour of the flora & fauna of Morecambe Bay I can highly recommend Gemma Wren at www.naturesgemtours.co.uk She was a National trust manager for the Morecambe Bay National Trust sites for 11 years and probably the very best person to take you on a tour. Arnside Knott is 40 mins away from Castle View and a personal favourite spot of mine! Incredible views!
