Caldbeck Parish and Surrounding Area

Caldbeck Parish includes the villages of Hesket Newmarket and Caldbeck.  It lies at the foot of the Northern Fells, overlooked by Carrock Fell, High Pike, and Longlands with the peak of Skiddaw sometimes visible beyond. It stretches from High Intack in the west to Haltcliff Bridge in the east and from the north at Blue Gate to the south at Linewath.

The Parish is within the jurisdiction of Allerdale Borough Council and most of it, only excluding a small section north of the village of Caldbeck, lies within the Lake Distict National Park.Caldbeck Parish is a beautiful and quiet rural area. It is popular with tourists, walkers and cyclists and is a very desirable place to live and bring up children, or to retire to from more crowded rural districts. It is difficult to believe that it was one of the most industrialised parts of England.  See History. Situated 54 degrees 44’ North and 30 degrees 03' West, Caldbeck is at the same latitude as Labrador and the southern tip of Alaska.

Google Maps provide for quite a bit of interaction. You can view the area in map form, as a satellite image or as a hybrid version of both. You can also use the powerful feature of Google maps to plot directions from and to a chosen start and finish point.

 
To move the map place the mouse pointer anywhere on the map, hold down the left mouse button and drag the map in any direction. You can also use the direction arrows at the top of the zoom scale on the left hand side of the map.
You can also use Googlemaps to get directions - simply enter where you want to travel from and to in the form below and hit the 'Go' button. The directions page will open in a new window, which you can close when finished in order to return to this page. When describing your start and finish destinations, either use a post code or specify the place in as much detail as possible - e.g. Caldbeck, Cumbria, UK or Paris, France.
