Living in Eden
As a place to live and work, Eden takes some beating.
A beautiful large rural district in eastern Cumbria, Eden is home to open, rolling landscapes, with rugged peaks forming dramatic horizons leading to an abundance of unique and much valued countryside. The scenic views are matched by the quality of life and the friendliness of its people.
Eden's natural beauty and rich culture offer an escape from the stresses and strains of city living but without compromising on connectivity. Eden is well connected with excellent road transport links via the A66 trunk road and M6 corridor and direct rail links via the West Coast Mainline to the north and south including London, Manchester and Edinburgh. The Settle-Carlisle Railway links a number of Eden towns and villages on its route from Leeds to Carlisle.
Eden’s market town centres have retained their local distinctiveness and monthly farmers markets sell quality local produce.
Good schools, accessible countryside and a safe environment mean Eden is a great place for families.
From the stunning beauty of the Eden Valley to the challenge of the Lake District to the quality local produce, Eden offers something for everyone.
