Welcome to Frizington

Frizington is a small village located in the county of Cumbria, England. It is situated in the western part of the county, near the coast of the Irish Sea. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and green fields. The area is known for its natural beauty and is popular with walkers and hikers.

Frizington has a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Bronze Age. The village was once a thriving mining community, with coal mines operating in the area for over 200 years. The mines provided employment for many local people, but they also brought hardship and danger. The last mine in the area closed in the 1980s, and today the village is a quiet and peaceful place.

Despite its small size, Frizington has a strong sense of community. There are several local businesses, including a post office, a convenience store, and a pub. The village also has a primary school, a community center, and a sports field. The people of Frizington are friendly and welcoming, and visitors to the area are sure to receive a warm reception.
