Despite its tranquil setting now, Eden was witness to many skirmishes between warring groups of people during earlier centuries. It is easily accessible as it is served by both the west coast mainline railway and the M6. Prior to the construction of the M6 in Cumbria, the A6 was a very busy route for travellers, but it has now become a delightful scenic drive which is well worth taking time out for. The river Eden has a strong presence in the area which has played its part in history by offering natural protection against attack thereby encouraging settlements to develop. It also attracts many walkers to take in the beauty of a riverside walk and has been known to unleash its incredible force when in flood.
