Welcome to Cumbria — England’s Lake District county, where fells meet lakes and the M6 keeps Carlisle and Kendal firmly connected. With around 500,000 residents who know the shortcut past Windermere better than any sat‑nav, Cumbria blends rugged landscapes with tourist buzz.

Schools That Actually Impress

Keswick School, Queen Elizabeth Grammar in Penrith, and Sedbergh School (the independent heavyweight) all carry strong reputations. Translation: your kids will get a solid education, and you’ll have plenty of parents comparing exam results at the school gates.

Economy With a Balance

Cumbria’s economy mixes tourism, agriculture, and energy with growing service and creative hubs in Carlisle and Kendal. Add in commuters heading to Lancaster and Newcastle, and you’ve got a county that’s practical, connected, and quietly thriving.

Things to Do (Besides Timing the M6 Traffic)

• Lake District National Park – England’s largest national park, with endless walking trails and postcard views.

• Hadrian’s Wall – Roman history stretching across the northern edge.

• Local favourites – Kendal Mint Cake for foodies, Carlisle United FC for matchday buzz, and fell walks for fresh air and photo ops.

Moving Services That Keep It Simple

At M&G, we can’t fix the M6 bottleneck, but we can make moving day a whole lot easier:

• Full packing services

• Secure, insured storage (ideal if your chain moves slower than traffic at Junction 40)

• Local, national, European & overseas moves (because sometimes Cumbria is just a stepping stone to Copenhagen)
