Nestled in the ancient village of Biggar, the Grade II listed Queens Arms, with the oldest parts dating from the 17th century, is a welcoming, friendly community-focussed pub. The beer garden is a suntrap in summer and the real fire in the bar is cosy and warming when the weather is colder. The new owners (from October 2021) plan to carry out some sympathetic restoration to return it to its former glory. Both South Walney and North Walney Nature Reserves are only 6km away. Biggar Bank Beach nearby feels more remote than it actually is, and offers great views over the Irish Sea towards the Isle of Man.
