The village of Wetheral lies five miles from Carlisle in the north of Cumbria. With great transport links, Wetheral is overlooked by a restaurant, pub, village shop and tearooms. A short steep walk takes you past the church and remains of the abbey to the River Eden. To the east, the 19th century viaduct towers above the river with some of the best salmon fishing in the country. Carlisle – the Border City – is the main shopping, commercial and industrial centre in the northern half of Cumbria, with a museum, historic tours, and plenty of entertainment for you to enjoy at your own leisure.
