St Bridget’s Church, Brigham

Highlight • Historical Site

St Bridget’s Church is in the village of Brigham, Cumbria, just outside Cockermouth. It was originally the parish church for Brigham Parish which included Cockermouth and much of the Lorton Vale. The current church dates from the 11th century but there has been a church on this site since about 500AD.

Wordsworth House and Garden

Highlight • Monument

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.

Gote Bridge over the River Derwent

Highlight • Bridge

Cross the bridge from the centre of Cockermouth to the north side of the town to walk the trails along the river bank. This river (and the River Cocker which also runs through the town) burst their banks in 2009, with flood water rising to 8ft deep through town, devastating homes and local businesses.
