Brigham

Brigham in Cumberland, England, is a small village a couple of miles east of Cockermouth, set on the low-lying plain beside the River Derwent and within easy reach of the western fells of the Lake District National Park. The setting gives a mix of pleasant river and hill scenery despite its mainly agricultural surroundings.

The village has a distinctly rural character with stone cottages, farms and a compact centre; its history is visible in an old parish church and several traditional buildings. Local life blends farming with commuters and visitors drawn to nearby walking country, and the community is still centred on a village hall and local activities, with traces of Victorian transport routes in the landscape.
