Lying just outside the boundary of the Lake District National Park, Cockermouth is an attractive market town not overwhelmed by the tourist atmosphere of Keswick and Ambleside.
Cockermouth grew up at the junction of the two most important rivers in the area - the River Cocker, flowing out of the lakes Buttermere, Crummock and Loweswater meets the River Derwent on its journey to the sea at Workington.
Cockermouth is famous as the birthplace of the poet William Wordsworth, and Fletcher Christian, who led the mutiny on 'The Bounty'.
The population is approximately 8000.
