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.
