Cockermouth is located at the confluence of the Cocker and

Derwentwater Rivers. There are the remains of the town's

12th-century castle, most of which was destroyed in the mid-1600s.

The Wordworth House (1745) is the boyhood home of the famous poet, William Wordsworth, a example of Georgian architecture which

has survived intact. Wordsworth's father is buried in the churchyard

adjacent to the family home. Fletcher Christian of Mutiny on the

Bounty fame was born here at the Moorland Close in 1764.
