Welcome to Castle Carrock

Castle Carrock is a small village located in the northern part of Cumbria, England. The village is situated on the edge of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which makes it an ideal location for outdoor enthusiasts. The village is surrounded by rolling hills, lush green fields, and dense forests, which offer a range of activities such as hiking, cycling, and horse riding.

The village is named after the ruins of a medieval castle that once stood on a hill overlooking the village. The castle was built in the 12th century and was used as a stronghold during the Scottish Wars of Independence. Today, only the ruins of the castle remain, but they are still an impressive sight and attract many visitors to the village. The castle ruins are also a popular spot for picnics and offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Castle Carrock is a charming village with a strong sense of community. The village has a primary school, a pub, a village hall, and a post office. The village also hosts a range of events throughout the year, including a summer fair, a Christmas market, and a music festival. The village is a popular destination for tourists who are looking for a peaceful and relaxing holiday in the countryside.
