Brampton and its many historic attractions
Brampton is one of Cumbria's charming market towns and was given its charter in 1252, although it can be traced back to the 7th century as a settlement. The town is home to just over 4,000 residents, but has more than its fair share of tourists and visitors. Cycling and walking groups criss-cross through the town at weekends on their way to the surrounding countryside or Hadrain's Wall.
