Caldbeck is a picturesque Cumbrian village that sits on the northern edge of the Lake District National Park and is surrounded by stunning moorland and fells. It's a traditional English village complete with a duck pond, ducks, a duck pond, and a church fashioned out of stone. The legendary huntsman John Peel is buried in a church that goes back to the 12th century. Caldbeck is, in every sense, a "typical working village," but it nevertheless attracts tourists thanks to the local craft centre at Priest Mill and the riverbank treks to the Howk gorge. The community serves as a convenient home base from which to explore Keswick, Derwentwater, and Bassenthwaite Lakes, as well as the rest of the northern Lakes. Cockermouth, the town where William Wordsworth was born, and the scenic Solway coast are both within easy driving distance, as are the cathedral city of Carlisle, Hadrian's Wall, and the Scottish Borders.
