Visitor guide
Cockermouth is Wordsworth’s birthplace, a market town where the Cocker meets the Derwent, just outside the National Park. Independent shops, a castle, Jennings brewery heritage, and a real-town feel after the valley villages.
Use it as a north-west gateway: Lorton, Buttermere and Bassenthwaite are close, and you can buy proper groceries.
Birthplace, castle walls and the two rivers.
Little Wainwright above Bassenthwaite, a fine half-day from town.
