Cumbria is easily reached by road, with the M6 running from Scotland through Carlisle and following south through the picturesque countryside towards Manchester, Birmingham and beyond. Alternatively, guests of your event may choose to travel from the east coast via the A66, which travels cross country from the Middlesbrough area and joins the M6 at Penrith in the north of the county. The region's convenient access from the rest of the UK is further enhanced by regular mainline rail services to Carlisle, with frequent bus services linking Cumbria with the rest of the UK via services to Penrith and Kendal. The closest air access is via Liverpool or Manchester airports, meaning that many dream Cumbria venues really are closer than you might think.
One of the main attractions of choosing a venue in Cumbria is the variety of locations from which to choose in the area. Event planners can select from quaint coastal towns such as Whitehaven or one of the many bustling market towns, allowing guests to indulge in some local shopping in the retailers of Cockermouth, Alston or Ulverston. When you add all this to the beautiful natural landscape and evocative heritage which surrounds the county, it's easy to see why this is the first choice location for many.
