The delightful courtyard setting is down an enticing entry just off Main Street between Boots the Chemist and Cockermouth Travel. The Lane is a popular meeting place within the town and home to a range of businesses behind stone fronted facings featuring a varied range of independent shops and cafe.

Sitting outside in the sunshine and sheltered from the breezes, the courtyard is a good place to meet your friends, take lunch, indulge in ice cream or just wander around. The History wall is a fascinating read and will have you wanting to explore the rest of this lovely town.

The Cockermouth History Wall in The Old King’s Arms Lane is the towns latest tourist attraction. The History Wall is made up of sixteen 8 foot high panels (the height of the flood water) representing16 events and people prominent in the history of the town from Roman times to the present day. This popular feature attracts thousands of visitors every year.
