A little history
William Wordsworth was born on Main Street in 1770. Jennings Brewery has brewed here since 1828. The town was badly flooded in 2009 but recovered with remarkable community spirit.
Wordsworth House is beautifully preserved — genuinely excellent. Jennings Brewery tours. The Main Street is one of Cumbria's finest.
