Welcome to our page of information, attractions and places of interest around Cockermouth. The Cockermouth hotels listed below are either in the town or we have given a rough guide as to how far they are from Cockermouth. From Cockermouth you can explore the beautiful Lake District National Park in the county of Cumbria, the largest English National Park, with spectacular mountain scenery, forest trails and lakeside paths around the 16 major lakes. We hope you enjoy your stay and find your ideal accommodation from our list of Cockermouth hotels and/or the surrounding area. Cockermouth is an attractive market town lying just outside the boundary of the Lake District National Park. It stands at the junction of the two most important rivers in the area, the River Cocker flowing out of the lakes Buttermere, Crummock and Loweswater and the River Derwent on its journey from lakes Derwent and Bassenthwaite to the sea at Workington. Dorothy and William Wordsworth were born here and the large Georgian house in the Main Street where they were born is now in the care of the National Trust. Fletcher Christian was another famous son of Cockermouth, born about a mile from the town at Eaglesfield in 1764, and who attended the same school as Wordsworth. Also see Cockermouth.

It is the most northerly of the lakes, and has no major settlements on its shores. There is a shore path which runs the length of the west shore, but there is no access to the east side except at Mirehouse.

The gardens contain 4 wooded adventure playgrounds, varied sheltered gardens and lakeside walks through woods and parks.
