Cockermouth is a beautiful Georgian market town on the edge of the Lake District National Park. The town is located at the junction of the Derwent & Cocker Rivers. Considered the gateway to the western Lake District and the Solway Coast, our pretty, vibrant town has plenty to explore and enjoy for locals & tourists alike. Main Street Cockermouth is the hub of the town’s shopping, eating & drinking precinct but it doesn’t end there. You can also explore Market Place and Station Street, where you’ll find all sorts of shops, pubs, restaurants, galleries & eateries. The range of independent shops in Cockermouth makes our town a facinating place to visit, with a fabulous selection of just about everything. You’ll always find friendly service and expert advice at any of our variety of local stores. That phrase ‘we’ve got shopping all wrapped up’ is a bit of a cliché but it definitely applies to shopping in Cockermouth. This is a town which has something for everyone. Head to Station Street, South Street, Main Street, Market Place, Lowther Went and Kings Arms Lane and shop until you drop! You can get the ingredients for a feast – from meat and cheese, to bread and cakes, and even the fruit, vegetables and fish, the herbs and spices, and the larder staples that you need to see you through the seasons. If you’re searching for homewares, look no further – find the pots, the pans, the crockery, cutlery and glasses you need in its many shops. There are gifts galore too. Discover quirky artisan crafts for a really unique present, or pick up something pretty in its boutique stores. There are practical options as well – from hardware for the home or garden, as well as clothes, shoes and wet weather gear. And don’t forget the little ones, toys and games, stocking fillers and educational fun are all on offer, and there are even gifts for your four-legged friends. We’ll see you soon!

Cockermouth is the ultimate dog friendly destination! Just ask Brian, the Croatian Sheepdog, he never leaves our side when we visit! Jennings is top of his list.
