Map
 
 
 
Cockermouth is located just outside the National Park's northern boundary and is a thriving market town. It evolved at the junction of two important rivers, the River Derwent and the River Cocker. On the main street visitors can see a large Georgian House where William Wordworth was born in 1770, now run by the National Trust. Cockermouth has a large but partially ruined castle with dungeons. It is only open to the public during the town festival once a year.
