About Penrith - show info hide info

Penrith is a market town in the county of Cumbria. It is sited in the Eden Valley on the River Eamont, and lies just outside the boundaries of the Lake District National Park. Other local rivers bounding the town are the River Lowther, and the River Petteril. The main church is St. Andrew, built 1720/1722 in an imposing Grecian style, abutting an earlier 13th century tower. The church yard has some (possibly early Anglo-Saxon) standing stones in it, known now as the "Giant's Thumb" and "Giant's Grave". The ruins of Penrith Castle (1300s-1500s) can be seen from the adjacent train station. The castle is run as a visitor attraction by English Heritage. To the south-east of the town is Brougham Castle. The town is on the M6, and also the junction of the A66, A6, and A686. Penrith has a mainline railway station (dating from 1846) called 'Penrith North Lakes', which is served by express inter-city trains from London, Stoke-on-Trent, Manchester and Glasgow. Penrith is close to the towns of Keswick, Ambleside, Cockermouth, Windermere, Appleby-in-Westmoreland, Brough and Kirkby Stephen.
