Cartmel, a small village in Cumbria, has transformed from a quiet locale known for its sticky toffee pudding to a thriving luxury tourism destination. Key developments, including the arrival of Michelin-starred chef Simon Rogan’s restaurant L’Enclume, have spurred year-round tourism and investment in property. However, this growth has presented challenges, such as rising property prices and the displacement of long-term residents. Local officials emphasize the need for a balance between tourism and community needs, ensuring social housing amidst the luxury boom.
