Cark Airfield on the Cartmel peninsula in Cumbria, south of the Lake District and right on Morecambe Bay, is a small field for general aviation, flight training and sport parachuting; there is no scheduled service, no cargo handling and no customs post. Earlier advice to route freight through London Heathrow ignores the geography — Heathrow is some four hundred kilometres away. Air freight from north-west England sensibly runs through Manchester (MAN) and Liverpool John Lennon (LPL), with East Midlands (EMA), the United Kingdom's largest dedicated cargo airport, handling freighter and express volumes; Newcastle (NCL) is the further option to the north.
