Penrith
Penrith is a market town and civil parish in the English county of Cumbria. It lies less than 3 miles outside of the limits of the Lake District National Park. The town is located in the Eden Valley, which is north of the River Eamont. Other regional rivers surrounding the town include the River Lowther and the River Petteril, connected by the Thacka Beck that passes through the middle of the town in a partially manufactured watercourse. Thacka Beck Nature Reserve notably offers flood storage, which offers a kind of safety to the homes and businesses in Penrith. Historically a part of Cumberland, the town's local authority is, at present, Eden District Council, with its administrative headquarters being based in the town. Between 1974 and 2015, Penrith had no town council of its own and was an unparished region, with the first elections to the Penrith civil parish happening on 7th May 2015. Citing population projections undertaken in 2012, the town has a permanent population of around 15200. Archaeological discoveries have presented significant indication to support the claim that settlements have actually existed in the area since the Roman period. It was the home of the Roman fort of Voreda, and excavation of a section of the Roman road from Manchester to Carlisle revealed the Roman building and construction of the road, with cobbles from the region being used to create the surface of the road. Apart from the excellent landscapes of the location, a wide range of landmarks and buildings draw in visitors to the town. One such example is the ruins of Penrith Castle, going back to the 14th and 16th centuries, which is open to the general public by English Heritage. For all your home upgrades, make sure to make use of respected contractors in Penrith to make certain of quality.
