Leisure

There are many places to visit in and around Penrith, making it the perfect base from which to enjoy the North West. The great outdoors are right on our doorstep offering an abundance of activities; walking, cycling, fishing, and canoeing, to name just a few. There are several gyms, swimming pools, a climbing wall, rugby club, football pitch, golf courses, clay pigeon shooting, churches, museum, play house, pubs, clubs, cinemas, college, as well as a whole variety of clubs and groups to join, from art and crafts, music and dance, acting and singing, sporting and other hobbies.

Transport

There's convenient access to the M6 connecting Penrith with Carlisle to the north and Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool to the south. The A66 is the direct route west from the town into the glorious Lake District National Park via Keswick. To the east, you can head into the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and if you come off the M6 for Sedburgh, you'll be in the unspoilt landscape of Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Education

A wide range of schools are close by too, including North Lakes School and Hunter Hall School primary schools as well as like Queen Elizabeth Grammar School and Ullswater Community College secondary schools.
