A little about Levens

Levens is a village and parish of approximately 450 homes and 1000 people situated in South Lakeland. About Levens Village Where is Levens? North of the Morecambe Bay estuary, between the Rivers Gilpin and Kent, six miles south of Kendal and just on the southern boundary of the Lake District National Park History Recorded as Lefuenes in the Domesday Book, the friendly village of Levens was formerly known as Beathwaite Green until the Parish was created in 1836. Covering a swathe of the Lyth Valley, famed for its pretty damson trees, between the Rivers Gilpin and Kent, the Parish includes Levens Hall, pasture farming, woodland and low fells. Traces of settlement here since the Bronze, Iron, Romano-British and Viking Ages have been found. Walks Pleasant walks abound in this limestone area. Rare plants nestle on neighbouring Scout Scar and Whitbarrow Scar with their limestone pavements; unusual goats and deer frequent Levens Hall Park where the Hall displays its famous topiary gardens; Sizergh Castle, gardens and estate are also a short walk away. Cycleways Several cycleways pass through the village. These are:- Walney to Wear (70) The Bay Cycleway (700) Lakes & Dales Loop Levens Village Shop and the Hare and Hounds pub both have lots to tempt you by way of refreshment en route! Pubs Of the three pubs within the parish, the Hare and Hounds (booking for dinner advisable) is in the village, the Gilpin Bridge Inn is nearby just off the A590 and the Strickland Arms is at Sizergh.
