About

Wetheral, Corby and Geltsdale form a distinct rural area east of Carlisle. The landscape is defined by the River Eden, which carves through wooded valleys, and the rising uplands of the North Pennines. Agriculture shapes the lower ground, with farms and small settlements like Wetheral itself, known for its historic railway viaduct crossing the river. The area maintains a quiet, working character centred on village life and the management of the surrounding land.

To the east, the terrain climbs into the open fells of Geltsdale, a designated RSPB reserve. This expansive, peatland habitat is crisscrossed by drystone walls and remote tracks. The area's history is quietly evident in scattered farmsteads and the substantial ruins of Corby Castle's estate buildings. The sense of isolation increases towards the Cumbrian border with Northumberland, where the land is primarily given over to sheep grazing and conservation.
