Castle Carrock is a thriving little village nestling at the foot of the Pennines, in the north-eastern corner of Cumbria, on the western edge of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With a population of around 300, it’s a place full of character, community spirit, and timeless rural charm. The village is home to the award-winning Duke of Cumberland pub, where a crackling fire, delicious home-cooked food, and a choice of local ales provide the perfect spot after a countryside walk or for a relaxed evening out. Castle Carrock features a picturesque church, St. Peter’s, a primary school, a village hall, and a range of community activities including a leek club, a working allotment, and even a popular annual music festival, Music on the Marr, which draws visitors from near and far. Surrounded by beautiful landscapes, the area offers plentiful walking routes. You can take a scenic stroll around the reservoir, wander through The Tarn or explore the peaceful paths along the Gelt River and Woods, or venture further onto the fells. A local working farm even allows you to witness the cows making their way in for daily milking. The village’s roots run deep, with a history dating back to medieval land grants in the 12th century, originally connected to the de Vallibus family whose descendants adopted the surname Castle Carrock. Over time, agricultural and industrial changes shaped the area, particularly the construction of the Carlisle reservoir between 1903 and 1909, which transformed both the landscape and the community. Just four miles away lies the market town of Brampton, where you’ll find essential shops, a great butcher, a food hall, coffee shops, traditional pubs, takeaways, and a brilliant vintage emporium full of unique finds. Castle Carrock blends heritage, natural beauty, and a warm village atmosphere into a truly memorable setting.
