The worst places to live in Cumbria
Someone has to say it. Britain and Carlisle are falling. Problems abound in every possible direction. Towns and cities around the country looking more and more like a slipped on dog log. At this point, does it really matter whether you support red or blue? Hasn’t the circus show in America taught us anything? Whether […]

Egremont, Cumbria. Words can’t express how desperately depressing this forgotten hovel is. “A convenient gateway to Wasdale and the lakes” they say – but NOTHING including convenience can justify a stop, or even a dive through here. The outside of pubs and shops tell you all you need to know. They look boarded up despite […]
Imagine a scenic little village perched on the very edge of the lake district where the hushed serenity is only broken by the delightful sounds of lambs gamboling in the verdant fields, you’ll have to use your imagination and possibly ear protection as the vast industrial edifice of the paper mill in the village [allegedly] […]
If for whatever reason you should visit this rotting corpse of a harbour town – presumably for the go kart tracks or the aquarium – you should know that any poor soul who strays into the feral residential areas is presumed dead until seen again. During your visit should be able to enjoy the cobbled […]

Looking for a place that’s got drugs and drunks out in the street at 2 am on Saturday morning? Then this **** town is the place. It’s also got similarities to Lancaster in Lancashire, but Cumbria didn’t have the funding to make an exact copy, so they made it smaller, added ****** knock offs of […]
Longtown has a long history, especially with it being on the border of England and Scotland. Although ask many of the locals who were educated from the 80s onwards and they couldn’t tell you any of it. A lot of the shops are owned by natives of the town, which is good as they know […]
Well Carlisle… A few days ago I was in the lovely town of Keswick, the picturesque mountains, the sunset glistening on the lake. As the love of my life enjoyed a fruit cider, as semi retired couples smiled and waved at my son and I, me being somewhat naive, jumped at the chance to work […]
Read More… from Carlisle: the people who inhabit this city are not quite right
Are you nostalgic for the 1980s? Do you dream of the days when men were men and usually drunk ?. Then you my friend need a holiday to Carlisle the last city in England and the last city you want to live in. Now don’t let the word city confuse you Carlisle is a very […]
Wigton is a crummy little town that only ever consists of usage of drugs, alcohol and fights! You at Kirkland when you first come into wigton, it’s quite a quiet place to live due to it been full of the elderly. There’s only a few thugs living up there. Moving down is the high street […]
It angers and saddens me a great deal to read the many obituries of once proud working and mining towns like Barnsley, Rotherham, Sheffield, Middlesbrough, Sunderland etc on this site. These were all places I was familiar with as a very young man back in the late 1970s and places I loved to visit and […]
Welcome to the in-breeding capital of the UK, Carlisle! As you enter the city you will find the auction mart. Generally smelling of *****, this is the place where the farmers meet to moan about how badly off they are. Then they sell their livestock and go for a few drinks and an extended lunch […]
Now I’ve been in Barrow several times, it’s a place where the local youth don’t know what’s what and starts to pick fights just to occupy themselves, crazy ladies with three dogs start talking to you about their walnut cabinett and the police are just as fat and hairless like the police in switzerland that eat fondue on top […]
