West Cumbria is a land of vivid and exciting contrasts, lying between the mountains and the sea.

The busy, bustling coastal towns are within minutes of the mountains and lakes where you can experience complete peace and tranquility. Visitors and residents of West Cumbria find it has so much to offer.

From the history of Cockermouth, the birthplace of William Wordsworth, to the south of the area where visitors can ride the wonderful Ravenglass and Eskdale steam railway, the western lakes and coast is an undiscovered gem. On the west coast itself the former working towns of Whitehaven, Workington and Maryport, provide strong links to the county's industrial heyday depicted by some excellent museums.

The opportunities to enjoy this part of the country are endless and the team at Grisdales love living here !
