Map of the UK

Cumrew is a tiny, quietly pretty parish in historic Cumberland, set among rolling farmland and dry stone walls in the Eden Valley. Narrow lanes and scattered stone cottages give it a strongly rural feel; it sits within easy reach of Brampton and Carlisle and provides pleasant outlooks towards the Pennines.

The local economy is largely agricultural, with working farms and traditional field patterns, and the community remains small and close‑knit. Visitors tend to come for peaceful walks, old stone buildings and the sense of undisturbed countryside rather than for shops or attractions.
