5 Castlegate was originally built as one grand townhouse around the mid 18th Century, and the complete building was renovated in 2019 and converted into separate flats. 5 Castlegate maintains an element of its original features, with its bow-fronted windows, whilst being adapted to a more modern and stylish interior.

Castlegate leads directly into Cockermouth’s High Street — a bustling, picturesque area lined with independent shops, artisan bakeries, antique stores, and quirky galleries.

Cockermouth is home to:
• Wordsworth House & Garden – The poet’s birthplace, Georgian museum open Mar–Oct .

• Born at Wordsworth House on Main Street in 1770, just a short walk from 5 Castlegate.
• The house is now a National Trust property, open to the public (seasonally), beautifully restored with 18th-century furnishings and a traditional kitchen garden.
• Wordsworth spent his early years exploring the rivers, woods, and surrounding fells, which inspired his lifelong love of nature and the rural landscape.
