Cleator is a village in Cumbria, on the fringes of the Lake District National Park. Set at the foot of Cleator Moor, the area is remarkably unspoiled, with idyllic lakes, woods and farmland on its doorstep. Despite its modest size, the village has an international reputation as the location of the former Kangol hat factory. Self-catering holidays in Cleator offer visitors the chance to explore some of the area’s historic landmarks, including St Mary's Catholic Church, which was designed by E W Pugin, the son of the famous architect A W N Pugin, whose works include the Houses of Parliament and Alton Towers. The village also has a rich artistic heritage. Artist L.S Lowry visited Cleator Moor and Cleator during the 1950s to paint a number of local scenes
