New build homes in Cumbria

Bordering Scotland, Cumbria is the most northwestern county in England, and arguably one of the most beautiful. Whether you’re looking for lakeside walks, countryside living, or a slower pace of life, a new home in Cumbria could be exactly what you need.  

Scenery of Cumbria

Famous for its mix of mountains, coastlines and open landscapes, it’s no surprise that this region is home to some of England’s most famous natural wonders. The Lake District National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is popular with nature lovers. Here you can explore the beauty of Lake Windermere, take on a hiking challenge at Scafell Pike, or simply enjoy the beautiful views right on your doorstep.  

Beyond the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty provide even more opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. From scenic trails to peaceful spots for looking up at the stars, our properties for sale in Cumbria are ideal for those who love adventure, relaxation, or a little bit of both.  

Things to do in Cumbria 

Life in Cumbria can be as active or as laid-back as you want it to be. History lovers can explore iconic landmarks like the famous 73 miles long Hadrian’s Wall or wander through the medieval halls of Carlisle Castle.  

Those with a sense of adventure can try kayaking, paddleboarding, or hiking through dramatic landscapes. And families will find plenty to do at places like the Lake District Wildlife Park or an afternoon at the Rheged Centre, where you can enjoy food, cinema or shopping. If you prefer a slower pace, charming market towns like Kendal and Keswick provide a delightful mix of independent shops, traditional pubs, and artisan food markets. 

Transport in Cumbria 

Despite its rural charm, Cumbria is well-connected, making it easy to travel both within the county and to other major cities. The M6 runs through the heart of the county, with convenient junctions at Kendal, Penrith, and Carlisle, which provide direct routes to key locations across the North West and beyond. 

For those who prefer to travel by train, Carlisle serves as a major railway hub with services to London, Glasglow and Leeds, while the Settle-Carlisle railway line is also a popular choice and offers one of the most scenic train journeys in the UK.
