房源位置

Cockermouth is a gem of town, with a changing array of independent boutiques, antique shops, art shops and galleries, as well as pubs, restaurants and cafes. The Kirkgate Arts and Heritage centre offers arthouse cinema and live music, and Cockermouth hosts various food and cultural festivals through the year. The National Trust’s Wordsworth House and Gardens, with café and shop, is just round the corner and worth a visit. Your nearest lake is Bassenthwaite Lake, just 7 miles away, with a stunning backdrop of the iconic Skiddaw, one of the highest mountains in England. The area offers fantastic walking and cycle routes as well as an osprey viewpoint. Bassenthwaite is also home to The Lake District Wildlife Park and also the Lakes Distillery. The popular town of Keswick is 14 miles away and can be reached by car in about 25 minutes. Whinlatter Forest Park is well-loved by walkers and cyclists or further down the valley Crummock Water and Buttermere lake offer atmospheric walks and scenery.

You are 5-10 minutes walk from the river and castle, and the town centre. Aldi is a 5-minute walk, or a 1 minute-drive. To park right in the centre, the easiest place is behind Sainsbury's, a 2-minute drive away. There is short-term disk-parking along the Main Street, but this tends to be busy.
The X4/5 buses run through the Main Street in Cockermouth, heading east through to Keswick (access to northern fells), and west to Workington. You need a car to access the coast at Allonby (ice-cream and chip shop, great views of Scotland, 25 mins) or St Bees (dramatic cliffs, 35 mins).
