Cockermouth

Motorhome Stopovers in Cockermouth

Cockermouth sits at the northern edge of the Lake District in Cumberland, where the rivers Cocker and Derwent meet. It’s reached easily via the A66 from the M6 at Penrith or from the A595 along the Cumbrian coast — a useful entry point into the Lakes that avoids the busier central routes through Keswick and Ambleside. The town has a well-preserved Georgian high street, a ruined castle, and is the birthplace of William Wordsworth.

Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified stopovers in and around Cockermouth — making it a practical base for motorhome-friendly touring of the northern and western Lakes without fighting for space in the honeypot villages further south.
