The lively market town of Penrith, originally the capital of Cumbria, is centrally located between the Lake District and the North Pennines, making it ideal for exploring the region’s attractions. Penrith’s sandstone houses hide intriguing yards, roads, and alleyways, with a plethora of lovely cottages, gardens, and small stores, and is known for its wealth of specialised shops. Penrith provides a museum and Millennium Trails around the old city streets, as well as a large range of superb pubs, hotels, restaurants, and entertainment.
