Allerderdale
Western Lake District
Cockermouth
Cockermouth owes it existence to the river system. The nearby Roman camp of Dervenitio, modern Papcastle,
was situated at the northern end of a crossing of the river Derwent, which flows from east to west just north
of the present town centre. Here was an important road junction in the back-up to Hadrian's Wall.
Cockermouth's principal claim to fame is that William Wordsworth was born here, and spent the first years of his life at the school in Kirkgate (now the Church Hall).
Wordsworth is not the only well known person to have come from the town or its environs. Both Fletcher
Christian, the mutineer, of the Bounty, and John Dalton of atomic theory fame came from villages close to Cockermouth and are claimed as its own.
Keswick - in het Hart van het Lake District
Keswick has become the major centre for tourism in the north lakes. This pretty market town offers a wide range of attractions for visitors, from shops and restaurants to museums.
MaryPort
Maryport is a delightful harbour side town situated on the beautiful Solway Firth. Its history covering 2000
years boasts a Roman Fort, Georgian buildings, Victorian docks, and industries which have included coal
mining, iron making, shipping and shipbuilding and many fascinating links with famous men and historical events.
Silloth on Solway
Nestling on the shores of the Solway Firth, facing the hills of Southern Galloway and backed by the Lake
District Fells. Silloth, the popular seaside resort in Cumbria's Western Lakes and Coast, is noted for its
invigorating but mild climate; its leisurely peaceful atmosphere and perhaps, most of all, its glorious sea views
and sunsets fine enough to be recorded for posterity by Turner, the famous landscape artist.
Wigton
The town existed already before AD1100. Located on the Solway Plain between the Caldbeck Fells and the
Solway Coast. Wigton is a centre for shopping, pubs and restaurants, theatre, bowls, swimming, tennis and
sports. It's a starting point or a base for hiking and biking trips in the Solway Plain and Caldbeck fells of Cumbria.
Workington
Set on the west coast of Cumbria, south of the Solway Firth, Workington, the largest town on Cumbria's west
coast. Sandwiched between the sea and the Derwent River, Workington's present name is a clue to its past
history, involved mostly with mining, shipping, and manufacturing. The town's original name comes from "Weork" and "Wyre", an Anglican chieftain.

Dove Cottage - Wordsworth Trust
Dove Cottage was the home of William Wordsworth from December 1799 to May 1808, the years of his
supreme work as a poet. It was built, probably in the early part of the 17th century, as a small hostelry. With
its oak-panelled hall and floors of Westmorland slate, Dove Cottage never fails to give pleasure to the visitor.
England's northwest
Loweswater - Meer
Nestled in a wooded valley in the far west of the Lake District, in the Vale of Lorton, Loweswater is a
peaceful lake that is often bypassed. At approximately 1 mile in length, 1/2 mile wide and 60 feet deep, it provides an excellent lake circuit for walkers.
Loweswater is unique within the Lake District, as it is the only lake that drains towards the center of Lakeland
- to Crummock Water which it was once joined to. Red squirrels, whose favourite habitat is coniferous, can be found in the locality. The lake is owned by the National Trust.

Vale of Lorton
The Vale of Lorton is a sequence of valleys leading from Cockermouth towards Keswick. In one of the
lushest, prettiest parts of the Northern Lakes, the valley contains the lakes Loweswater, Crummock Water and Buttermere. At the end of the valley you can get to Keswick via Honister Pass and Borrowdale.
There are many excellent walks in this area, including to the waterfall at Scale Force.
