As the former capital of Cumbria, the bustling market town of Penrith enjoys a central location between the Lake District, the Westmoorland Dales, and the North Pennines and is well-positioned to enjoy everything the area has to offer. The sandstone buildings of Penrith, which is known for having a wide variety of specialty stores, conceal an array of charming cottages, gardens, and small businesses in their interesting yards, lanes, and alleyways.
