Cockermouth Area Churches
Throughout the year our walking group meets regularly at least once a month to enjoy a guided walk around North and West Cumbria. During the summer months we meet every Thursday to enjoy the lighter evenings.

Check out our Walking Group Photographs to see some of the places we visit or click on one of our completed walks to link through to a gallery from that walk.
Everyone is welcome whether you attend a church or not.
