We're lucky to still have a post office in Dalston. Use it, or lose it! Sometimes it has long queues, but it has all the services you'd expect in a Post Office. It's especially handy for taking money out of your bank, free of charge, and for depositing cheques, if you get envelopes from your bank for this, as it saves a trip into Carlisle. Also sells envelopes, padded envelopes, padded tubes and boxes. Basic selection of cards, and biscuits and jewellry. You can pick up bus timetables and train timetables here too. read more
