Some Penrith Cottages

It is easy to get to Penrith today, as it has been for centuries, millennia even, for Penrith through its long history has been an important stopping place on the route north to Scotland and south to Lancaster and on to London. These days it is the M6 that passes close by, and the railway which has been here since 1846, and of course the ancient routes - the rivers â€“ remain, Penrith being touched by the Petteril, Eamont, and Lowther. Penrith (the name probably means red hill) was settled in the Bronze Age and before, and just a couple of miles away can be found Long Meg and Her Daughters, a Bronze Age stone circle with outlying stones possibly from earlier times.
