Penrith is a bustling market town nestling in the Eden Valley. Renowned for its wealth of specialist shops the town offers an interesting choice of traditional produce and local crafts. The architecture of the town is attractive with traditional sandstone buildings hiding intriguing lanes and alleyways which lead to delightful hidden cottages and gardens. One hundred years ago there were 57 inns in Penrith, today there is still a varied choice of local pubs, hotels and restaurants.

The town has a lot to offer the visitor with many attractions and leisure pursuits available nearby. A first class leisure centre boasts excellent sports facilities whilst Castle Park nearby provides a great range of outdoor activities such as bowling, tennis, crazy golf and pitch and putt. For children there is an excellent playground and cafe.
