The town's prosperity grew through wool trade, brewing, and milling, with its Georgian architecture reflecting 18th-century wealth. Cockermouth is most famous as the birthplace of William Wordsworth in 1770, with his childhood home now preserved by the National Trust. Key viewpoints include Wordsworth House with its period gardens, the medieval castle ruins overlooking the rivers, the market square with its traditional shops, the Jennings Brewery showcasing local beer production, and river walks offering peaceful perspectives.
