A historic market town to the west of the city with excellent transport links both by road and rail into
the city.

Sandwiched between the Solway Coast area of outstanding natural beauty and the Lake District
National Park, this is a popular area for those who prefer a more rural life away from hustle and
bustle of the city.

With a population exceeding 5,000, it is large enough to be self-sufficient with a high street full of
independent retailers, two supermarkets and also popular primary and secondary schools to serving
the town and the surrounding area.

The town’s principal employer is Innovia Films, the main business providing many types of plastic
products including the substrates for plastic bank notes.

Livestock auctions are regularly held at Hopes Auction Company.
