From postcard-perfect Lakeland villages to ancient seaports, the towns and villages of the Western Lakes and Cumbrian coast wear their history and heritage in every slate and brick. Here, you’ll find handsome Georgian streets, busy market centres and tiny villages strewn about the valleys, with plenty of historic charm.
Discover seafaring hubs and learn about times gone by: there are some brilliant museums sharing more about the life and times of those living here across the ages. There’s even the birthplace of William Wordsworth, who was born in Cockermouth in 1770.
The Cumbrian Coast Line connects a number of the area’s towns and villages by rail, running alongside the sea and boasting stunning views from your carriage as you travel.
