Why Cockermouth?

Nestled on the edge of the Lake District National Park, Cockermouth is a beautiful market town with plenty to offer both inside and outside of work.

With its independent shops, cafés, restaurants and historic charm, Cockermouth has a lovely community feel, while its location gives you easy access to some of the UK's most spectacular countryside.
