Motorhome Stopovers in Gosforth
Gosforth is a village in Cumberland, sitting at the southern end of the western Lake District fells close to the River Bleng. The A595 passes nearby — the main coastal road through west Cumbria — and Gosforth is well positioned for motorhomers heading into Wasdale, one of the most dramatic valleys in the Lake District National Park. The village is known for the Gosforth Cross, a tall Viking cross standing in the churchyard of St Mary’s — one of the finest examples of Viking stonework in England.
