Bewcastle is one of the last unspoilt areas of Britain. Farmed, lived in and fought over for three thousand years, it still retains the rugged splendour of the border regions. This is the haunt of buzzard, curlew and lapwing. While sheep now graze over much of the land, the fells and 'wastes' have changed little since prehistoric times.

Bewcastle Lectures

Forthcoming lectures at Bewcastle Church, “Saint Columba’s Horse: Adomnan on God, Man & Animal” on 10th May, followed by “The Bewcastle Cross: making sense of its meaning” on 28th June. Both these lectures pre-date their academic publication.


Bewcastle is an ideal centre, both to explore, and as a base for visiting the nearby Lake District, Pennines, Cheviots, Scottish Lowlands and Northumberland coast. While the roads in the national parks fill to distraction, Bewcastle's labyrinthine lanes and tracks see more sheep than cars.

The Bewcastle Show attracts many locals and visitors. While unfortunately the 2007 show had to be cancelled due to bad weather, you can still see photographs from 2006 here.
