A pretty village located on the edge of the River Lune, Glasson Dock has a long maritime history. Farming and fishing were once at the heart of village life here. The harbour opened in 1787 and became a hive of economic activity with cotton, sugar, spices and slaves imported here. Some commercial boats still use the dock today, with the port handling over 150,000 tonnes of cargo every year. The quiet village has a pretty marina with a handful of shops and places to eat.

Anyone who goes to Glasson without a trip to the Smokehouse is in serious need of psychiatric care. Take a full wallet and a pannier.
