Cockermouth hit the headlines in 2009 when it suffered from some of the worst flash flood in recent history. Fortunately, the town has quickly recovered and has now re-established itself as one of the best places in the country for a last minute cottage holiday. Most of the buildings in Cockermouth and its surrounds were build in the 18th and 19th century, meaning you really can have that picture perfect cottage on your last minute break in Cockermouth.
Cockermouth has plenty to keep the whole family entertained. Based around a charming market town, Cockermouth is a great starting point from which to explore the spectacular beauty that the Lake District has to offer. If you are keen to get outdoors and take in some hikes or cycling on your last minute break, then Cockermouth surely will not disappoint. There is an established network of paths for both cyclists and walkers. Make sure to say hello, everyone will be very friendly along the way!
