Penrith is located in the north east corner of the Lake District, overlooking the magnificent Cumbria fells. The campus is in a beautiful rural setting about a mile outside the town. Set in landscaped gardens and with impressive facilities, the campus provides a delightful environment for both living and working. The outstanding facilities include a state-of-the-art library, new IT centre, science laboratories, the National Forestry Centre and the new Cumbria Academy for Animal Studies. There is also a new all-weather sports pitch and superb equine and forestry facilities. Just off the M6 and with its own mainline station, Penrith is easy to reach. This friendly town has lively restaurants and pubs, a cinema, nightclubs and a good range of high street and specialist shops. For even more extensive facilities, Carlisle is just 20 minutes’ drive away.
