Cumbria
Cumbria is an administrative county located in the North West of
England. The boundaries are along the
Irish Sea to the West, and along the
Pennines to the East. Its Northern boundary stretches from the
Solway Firth to
Morecambe Bay along the
Scottish border. It is made up of six districts: Allerdale,
Barrow,
Carlisle, Copeland, Eden and South Lakeland.
Cumbria was created in 1974, and covers the traditional counties of Cumberland and Westmorland, plus parts of Lancashire and Yorkshire.
Cumbria is home to one of the most beautiful areas of Britain, the Lake District National Park.
