Barrow-in-Furness is home to BAE Systems' submarine shipyard, where the UK's Dreadnought-class nuclear submarines are being built in a programme worth over £30 billion. This single employer dominates the local economy and property market, creating strong demand for housing and commercial space from thousands of skilled workers relocating to the area.
Kendal is the 'Gateway to the Lakes' and South Lakeland's principal market town, famous for Kendal Mint Cake and its vibrant arts scene centred on the Brewery Arts Centre. The town combines a strong professional services and independent retail economy with outdoor recreation and tourism, and serves as a key commercial hub for the southern Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.
Penrith is the eastern gateway to the Lake District and a key service town for Eden Valley, sitting at the junction of the M6 and A66 trans-Pennine route. The town has a strong agricultural market heritage, a thriving independent retail centre, and acts as the commercial hub for a vast rural hinterland stretching to the Scottish border and North Pennines AONB.
Whitehaven is a Georgian planned town on the west Cumbria coast with a remarkable harbour and grid-iron street layout. The town has been through significant regeneration and faces the transformative impact of the nearby Woodhouse Colliery project, while the Sellafield nuclear complex (15 miles north) remains the dominant economic influence on the wider area.
Workington is a west Cumbria industrial town at the mouth of the River Derwent, with a legacy of steel and coal that is transitioning to energy and advanced manufacturing. The town serves as a retail centre for a wide catchment and benefits from the Port of Workington, which handles offshore wind farm logistics and biomass imports.
Ulverston is a characterful market town on the Furness Peninsula, birthplace of Stan Laurel and home to a famously vibrant festival programme. The town has an independent spirit with a strong artisan and food culture, and benefits from both Lake District tourism overspill and Morecambe Bay's natural attractions. GlaxoSmithKline's major manufacturing site nearby is a key employer.
Keswick is the principal town of the northern Lake District, set between Derwentwater and Skiddaw at the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town's economy is almost entirely tourism-driven, supporting a high concentration of hotels, outdoor equipment shops, and restaurants. Commercial property is scarce and commands premium values reflecting the national park setting.
Windermere is the Lake District's busiest tourist town, combining the hilltop village with Bowness-on-Windermere on the lakeshore. England's largest natural lake drives a year-round tourism economy worth hundreds of millions, supporting hotels, restaurants, boat hire, and outdoor activity providers. Commercial property is extremely limited and commands a premium.
