Being the former capital of Cumbria, the lively market town of Penrith boasts a prime location between the Lake District, the Westmoorland Dales, and the North Pennines and is well-positioned to experience everything the area has to offer. The sandstone buildings of Penrith, known for having a wide variety of speciality stores, hide an array of charming cottages, gardens and small businesses.. Penrith has a great selection of top-notch pubs, cafes, restaurants, and entertainment options as well as a museum and Millennium Trails that wind through the cobblestone alleys of the old city. Rheged, an innovative visitor centre featuring shops, cafés, exhibits, and a huge movie screen, is conveniently located close to the town. Long Meg and her daughters, the third-largest stone circle in England, Lowther Castle and Gardens, the historic city of Carlisle, and the breath-taking beauty of both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales are all within a short drive.
