"Guide to the town, accommodation, places to visit
and history etc"
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.
Here the River Cocker, flowing out of Lakes Buttermere,
Crummock and Loweswater meets the River Derwent on its
journey from Lakes Derwent and Bassenthwaite to the sea at
Workington.
