This Georgian town is on the edge of the Lake District and has been identified as a ?gem town?, recommended for preservation as part of our national heritage. You can see the Norman castle, around which the town grew, and visit Wordsworth House, the birthplace of the poet William Wordsworth. If it?s refreshment you need, take in a tour of Jennings Brewery, or you could take the children to the Lakeland Sheep & Wool Centre.
