Welcome to Gaisgill

Gaisgill 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 Scotland. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and lush green fields. It is a peaceful and tranquil place, perfect for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the main attractions of Gaisgill is its stunning scenery. The village is surrounded by the Howgill Fells, a range of hills that offer breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. The hills are popular with walkers and hikers, who come to explore the many trails and paths that wind their way through the hills. There are also several rivers and streams in the area, which are popular with anglers and canoeists.

Despite its small size, Gaisgill has a rich history. The village dates back to the medieval period, and there are several historic buildings and landmarks in the area. One of the most notable is St. Mary's Church, a beautiful 12th-century church that is still in use today. There are also several old farmhouses and cottages in the village, which give visitors a glimpse into what life was like in rural Cumbria in the past.
