Cockermouth

Next door to the Bitter End is the Kirkgate Centre, Cockermouth's centre for art, theatre, film and music.

To help visitors and locals alike the Cockermouth and District Civic Trust have publicised a fascinating walk through the town's history.

The walk mirrors some of the work done by well known local historian Bernard Bradbury, who's books are the recognised 'bible' of Cockermouth's historic townscape.

Small cast iron numbered plaques created by the children of Cockermouth School help guide you as you take the Town Trail.

A leaflet describing the Town Trail is available from the tourist information centre.
