Ravenstown is a settlement in the Lower Holker parish of the Cartmel Peninsula in Cumbria, England.[1] The village is mostly a housing estate which was built during First World war to serve a new airship station built in the area. Ravenstown lies south of the larger village of Flookburgh and was historically part of Lancashire.

History

Ravenstown was built to serve an airship station for Vickers of Barrow-in-Furness after it was decided that Walney Airfield was deemed too vulnerable to attack from German U-boat attack so a new Airship station was constructed on a site which is now Cark Airfield.

A new village was needed to house the workers at the new airship station which was originally named Flookburgh Model Aero Village which is now Ravenstown in which construction of 250 houses started on 27 March 1917.[2] The roads are named after World War I battles such as Somme and Jutland.

Transport

The main road running in and out of Ravenstown is Winder Lane which runs from Flookburgh and the village has an unmarked bus stop which is served by routes 530, 531 and 532.

The Furness Line runs close to Ravenstown and there is a station located in nearby Cark called Cark and Cartmel railway station.

Cark Airfield is located near to Ravenstown which is a small airfield for general aviation, the nearest airport with scheduled flights is Blackpool International Airport.
