Learn more about hotels in Cumberland

Cumberland wears the crown of history with dignity, tracing back its roots to the 12th century. The sonorous echoes of the extinct Cumbric language still whisper in the winds here, reminding one of its Scottish heritage. Over centuries, Cumberland has seen power swap hands from Scotland to England, with Carlisle being a significant pawn in this game of thrones.

The reforms of 2023 ushered in a new era for Cumberland, helping it reclaim its distinctive identity apart from Cumbria. Today, it embraces a modern progressive outlook while wearing its past grandeur like a royal cloak. Cumberland is adorned with a myriad of namesakes, showcasing a rich cultural hub that includes the famously savoury Cumberland sausages, athletic clubs, and local newspapers.

With the revival of this historical entity, Cumberland has emerged as a haven for those seeking an immersive and unique travel experience, offering the tranquillity of nature combined with the vibrant pulse of present-day England.

When to visit Cumberland

The ideal time to explore Cumberland swings between mid-July and mid-August, just in time to bathe in the warmth of its summer. Its hills and lakes glisten crispest between June and October, with August often crowned as the clearest month. Though be advised, Cumberland tends to don its grey garb from October to April, with a penchant for setting in the winter chills early.

However, if building a snowman in England’s highest point, Scafell Pike, or witnessing a snow-ridden Lake District sit high in your travel bucket list, then be sure to visit between November and March. Remember, every season unfolds a new side of Cumberland, and there's really no wrong time to visit this North West English gem.
