Hesket Newmarket is a picturesque and highly regarded village nestled amongst the Northern Fells on the edge of the Lake District National Park, offering an excellent balance of peaceful rural living and everyday convenience.
The village itself enjoys a strong sense of community and benefits from a well-supported community shop and Post Office, tearoom and the renowned Old Crown public house, alongside the locally celebrated Hesket Newmarket Brewery.
The neighbouring village of Caldbeck, approximately 1.5 miles away, provides further amenities including a gp surgery, village shops and Fellview Primary School and Nursery.
Despite its wonderfully rural setting, the village is well placed for access to the surrounding area, with Wigton, Penrith and Carlisle all within comfortable driving distance, while Keswick and the wider Lake District are also readily accessible.
Road connections via the B5299 and surrounding routes provide access towards the A595, A6 and M6 motorway, with mainline rail services available from both Carlisle and Penrith.
Surrounded by stunning countryside, fell walks and some of the most attractive scenery in northern Cumbria, Hesket Newmarket is an ideal location for those seeking a quieter village lifestyle without being isolated from larger towns, employment centres and transport links.
