Wordsworth House rises majestically on Main Street in Cockermouth, a charming town on the edge of the Lake District. Built around 1745, the house reflects the understated grandeur of Georgian architecture: a perfectly symmetrical façade of sand-colored bricks, tall rectangular windows with classically framed woodwork, and an ornate yet understated doorway that evokes the sense of order and proportion characteristic of this period. The poet William Wordsmouth was born here in 1770.

Binsey is a freestanding hill in the northern Lake District, north of Bassenthwaite Lake. At 447 meters high, it's one of the smaller fells, but the views from the summit are surprisingly impressive. On a clear day, you can see not only the western Lakeland fells, but also the Solway Firth, Dumfries & Galloway, and even the Isle of Man. If you stay on the road, you'll remain at 260 meters.

There’s certainly something off with the size of this sign in relation to the size of the animal it is warning you of. Also never seen cows in this part of the common.

Kirkgate is the old eighteenth century district of Cockermouth, close to All Saints Curch, where the houses were built to house the workforce for the many new mills being created in the town, particularly around the River Cocker and Bitter Beck. There were many shops along Kirkgate. The windows still exist but the shops are all gone now, as the town centre moved to Main Street in Victoria times.

The pre-Victorian centre of old Cockermouth, Market Place is the heart of the old town.
