Penrith, Administrative division in Westmorland and Furness, England.
Penrith occupies a strategic position between the Rivers Petteril and Eamont, located three miles from the Lake District National Park boundary.
The Norman conquest of 1092 established Penrith as a crown estate, leading to the construction of defensive walls against Scottish raids in the 14th century.
The weekly market in Penrith maintains centuries-old traditions by offering fresh local produce, regional crafts, and agricultural products from Cumberland farmers.
The railway station provides direct connections to major cities on the West Coast Main Line, while multiple bus routes connect to surrounding Lake District villages.
Archaeological evidence near Penrith includes the Mayburgh Henge earthwork and multiple stone circles, indicating continuous settlement since the Neolithic period.
