Welcome to our page of information, attractions and places of interest around Penrith. The Penrith hotels listed below are either in the town or we have given a rough guide as to how far they are from Penrith. From Penrith 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 Penrith hotels and/or the surrounding area. Penrith is a large town acting as a regional centre for the eastern Lake District, lying just outside the National Park. It is an important shopping centre, with a good mix of traditional shops and sophisticated arcades. Penrith is an attractive market town originally built around a network of gates. The townspeople would herd their livestock through these into the safety of the centre, whilst the town was vigorously defended against the Scottish raiders who terrorised the region. The gates are on longer here, but the names remain such as Middlegate, Stricklandgate. Penrith has a large, imposing Norman church, a 13th century castle set in a municipal park with sporting amenities, a beacon on top of a hill overlooking the town, numerous historic houses and coaching inns with connections to Bonnie Prince Charlie, Richard the III, Wordsworth, Anthony Trollope and Samuel Plimsoll.
