Groupon's Guide To Cumbria
Set in North West England, Cumbria is a non-metropolitan county and its elevated mountain ranges make it one of the most sparsely populated counties in the United Kingdom.
Cumbria is home to the Lake District National Park, famous for its natural beauty and source of inspiration for artists, musicians, and writers. The historic Hadrian's Wall is also located in this county and is deemed a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The ancient market town of Appleby-in-Westmorland has kept its old-world charm. A walk up the picturesque quaint street of Boroughgate, described as 'one of the finest in England', can transport you back into Medieval England and for those looking to explore the nearby region, Appleby makes the perfect base. To the west of Appleby is the Lake District whose northern and central lakes are within easy reach. To the east lie the North Pennines an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Yorkshire Dales, Hadrian's Wall, and the Scottish borders are all within an hour's drive.
