Cark and Cartmel railway station (often just Cark railway station) is a railway station that serves the villages of Cark, Flookburgh and Cartmel in Cumbria, England. It is located on the Furness Line from Barrow-in-Furness to Lancaster.
The station is architecturally interesting, with a main building (see image) erected by the Ulverston and Lancaster Railway in 1857. The station had a particular importance, as it serves Holker Hall, the home of Lord Cavendish of Furness and formerly belonging to the Dukes of Devonshire. Special waiting rooms were provided for the dukes and their guests.
