Specialist Expertise You Can Trust

We have helped hundreds of clients and families live more independent and fulfilling lives

Our Cumbria based Private OT's provide specialist Occupational Therapy and Sensory Integration services across the county including the major towns of Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness, Kendal, Workington and Whitehaven.

Cumbria's combination of natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and historical significance makes it a unique and fascinating region of the UK.

Here's what makes Cumbria stand out;

1. Lake District National Park

Cumbria is home to the Lake District, England's largest National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Known for its breathtaking lakes, mountains (fells), and picturesque scenery, it has inspired poets and writers like William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter.

2. Scafell Pike

The highest mountain in England, Scafell Pike, is located in the Lake District in Cumbria. It's a popular destination for hikers and climbers.

3. Hadrian's Wall

Parts of Hadrian's Wall, the famous Roman fortification built to guard the wild northwestern frontier of the Roman Empire, run through Cumbria.

4. Rural Economy

Cumbria has a strong agricultural tradition, with the picturesque landscape supporting sheep farming. The Herdwick sheep, native to the Lake District, are particularly iconic.

5. Cumberland Sausage

This local specialty is a long, coiled sausage with a distinctive blend of herbs and spices, reflecting Cumbria's culinary tradition.

6. Border History

Cumbria, lying close to the border with Scotland, has a history marked by border conflicts and raids during the Middle Ages. Carlisle Castle in Carlisle has played a central role in these historical events.

7. Beatrix Potter

The famous children’s author Beatrix Potter lived much of her life in the Lake District. Her home, Hill Top, is now a museum owned by the National Trust.

8. Kendal Mint Cake

Originating from Kendal in Cumbria, Kendal Mint Cake is a glucose-based confection flavored with peppermint. It's known for providing a quick energy boost and was famously carried on the first successful summit of Mount Everest in 1953.

9. The Lakes and Tarns

The Lake District has 16 lakes and numerous smaller bodies of water, or tarns. Windermere is the largest natural lake in England.

10. Stone Circles

Cumbria has several ancient stone circles, with Castlerigg near Keswick being one of the most atmospheric and dramatically sited in England.
