Longsowerby & Caldewgate

About

Longsowerby and Caldewgate are located in Cumberland, near the city of Carlisle. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of older terraced houses and newer developments. It sits close to the River Caldew, which has historically influenced local industry and transport. The nearby Carlisle railway station provides easy access to other parts of the region.

Caldewgate has a strong industrial heritage, with former mills and factories along the river. Today, the area is quieter, with green spaces like Bitts Park offering recreational opportunities. Longsowerby, to the north, is more suburban, with schools and local amenities serving the community. Both areas benefit from their proximity to Carlisle’s city centre, making them practical for commuters and families.
