The station, situated 15+1⁄4 miles (25 km) north-east of Barrow-in-Furness, serves the villages of Allithwaite, Cark, Cartmel and Flookburgh in Cumbria.

The station is architecturally interesting, with buildings constructed by the Ulverstone and Lancaster Railway.

The station had a particular importance, as it serves Holker Hall, the home of Lord Cavendish of Furness formerly belonging to the Dukes of Devonshire.
