Welcome to Blagill

Blagill is a small village located in the county of Cumbria, England. It is situated in the northern part of the county, near the border with Northumberland. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and lush green fields. The area is popular with walkers and hikers, who come to explore the many trails and paths that crisscross the landscape.

Blagill has a long and fascinating history, dating back to the Roman era. The village was once an important center for lead mining, and many of the old mine workings can still be seen in the surrounding hills. In the 19th century, Blagill was a thriving community, with a school, a church, and several shops and pubs. Today, the village is much quieter, but it still retains its charm and character, with many of the old buildings and landmarks still standing.

Despite its small size, Blagill has a strong sense of community, with many local events and activities taking place throughout the year. The village hall is a hub of activity, hosting everything from concerts and plays to craft fairs and community meetings. There are also several local groups and clubs, including a gardening club, a history society, and a walking group. Whether you are a resident or a visitor, Blagill is a wonderful place to explore and enjoy.
