About

Gosforth ward covers a largely rural expanse in the western part of Cumberland, characterised by agricultural land and scattered settlements. The area includes the village of Gosforth itself, which serves as a local hub, alongside smaller hamlets and farms set within a landscape of fields and low fells. This part of the county maintains a quiet, working character centred on farming and local services.

The ward is notable for its ancient Gosforth Cross, a complete tenth-century Norse cross standing in the village churchyard. The surrounding geography features the lower slopes of the Lake District fells to the east, while to the west the land runs toward the coastal plain. The presence of this historic monument amidst the pastoral setting provides a distinct sense of continuity within the area's everyday life.
