Castle Carrock nestles in the Cumbrian countryside east of Carlisle at the foot of the Pennines. The village itself has an award winning pub, The Duke of Cumberland, delicious home cooked meals and local ales can be enjoyed. The village is surrounded by rolling countryside, the beauty spots of Talkin Tarn and Castle Carrock reservoir are both close by. The market town of Brampton is a 10 minute drive with shops, bars and restaurants, or head to the County capital Carlisle for a night at the cinema, shopping at the Lanes or explore the historical Castle and Cathedral.
