About Oxenholme
Oxenholme is a small village in Cumbria, England, best known for being the home of Oxenholme Lake District railway station. It serves as a vital interchange on the West Coast Main Line, connecting London and Glasgow with the Windermere Branch Line. Because of this connection, Oxenholme is frequently referred to as the “Gateway to the Lakes.”
Geographically, the village sits on the hillside overlooking the town of Kendal, which is approximately two miles away. The station itself is elevated, offering arriving passengers their first dramatic glimpses of the rolling Cumbrian hills. Historically, Oxenholme was a hamlet that grew significantly with the arrival of the railway in the 19th century. Today, it remains a crucial transport hub for tourists and locals alike, funnelling thousands of visitors annually into the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Lake District National Park.
