Welcome to Calthwaite

Calthwaite is a small village located in the county of Cumbria, England. It is situated approximately 7 miles east of Penrith and 15 miles south of Carlisle. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings, including St. Kentigern's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The village also has a primary school, a pub, and a village hall, which hosts a range of community events throughout the year.

One of the main attractions in Calthwaite is the Calthwaite Hall Garden Centre, which is located in the grounds of Calthwaite Hall. The garden centre offers a wide range of plants, garden furniture, and accessories, as well as a café serving homemade cakes and light lunches. The hall itself is a Grade II listed building and dates back to the 17th century. It is now used as a private residence, but the gardens are open to the public and are well worth a visit.

Calthwaite is also located close to a number of other attractions in the area, including the Lake District National Park, which is just a short drive away. The park is home to some of the most stunning scenery in the UK, with mountains, lakes, and forests to explore. Other nearby attractions include the historic city of Carlisle, Hadrian's Wall, and the Eden Valley. Whether you are looking for a relaxing break in the countryside or an action-packed adventure, Calthwaite and the surrounding area has something to offer everyone.
