Greenbank Cottage

Cockermouth and the North West Fells, North West England

Tucked into the Cockermouth and North West Fells area of Cumbria, Greenbank Cottage is a cosy base for two who fancy exploring this corner of North West England at a gentle pace. With no need for a car-sized group, it suits couples or solo travellers looking for a quiet retreat among the fells.

From here you can venture out to JB Banks Ironmongers, Maryport Maritime Museum and Fleming Square, all within a few miles, giving you a taste of local history and character. Maryport station is just 3.7 miles away, making it straightforward to arrive without driving the whole way, or to hop out for a day trip further afield.
