Despite the somehow odd name, Cockermouth is a town that you should include in your trips in England, because it is a place where you get the impression that time stood still. The All Saints Church is a shining example of how medieval buildings have survived in perfect condition, with the entire architecture being centuries old. Even some of the hotels are staying true to the general context, but the accommodation is 21st century quality.

With numerous pubs and bars, you'll hardly spend any time in the hotel and time will go by without you even noticing. While in Cockermouth, don't forget to taste the locally brewed Jennings bear, one of the most praised in the county. The only downside is that this area is prone to flooding, so you should watch the news before flying over.
