About this Assembly
Serving, supporting and protecting our local communities
The Community Assembly of Cumbria is located in a ceremonial county in North West England. Regarded as one of the most picturesque areas of the British Isles, the Lake District lies within the county and was one of the first ever designated National Parks. The longest natural lake, Windemere and deepest lake Westwater are both found within the Park area.
The city of Carlisle lies to the north of the county and started as a Roman fort in 72 AD, providing support for Hadrian's Wall. With the current Anglo-Scottish border being only 8 miles (13 kilometres) to the north. Carlisle castle has been an important stronghold since the Middle Ages. It served as a prison for Mary Queen of Scots in 1568 and still retains its military links. During the Industrial Revolution of the 19th Century, Carlisle became a densely populated mill town which aided further development during the growth of the railways, with several railway companies sharing the railway station.
