YHA Cockermouth will close to guests on 30th October 2016. No bookings can be made after this date.

A handy base for cycling and touring the west Cumbrian coast and great walking in the quieter northwestern lakeland fells, this hostel is a converted 17th century watermill in an idyllic spot on the river Cocker. The beautiful old mill (look out for charming original features) is surrounded by relaxing grounds and you can relax in the spring and summer flowers, listening to the sound of the river. Perfectly located for hiking and all kinds of outdoor activity breaks, this has all the makings of a magical Lake District holiday you'll never forget.
