Local Area - Pele Court enjoys a prime location in Penrith, one of Cumbria’s most celebrated market towns. Nestled just outside the Lake District National Park, Penrith serves as the hub of the picturesque Eden Valley, with a rich and vibrant history reflected in its distinctive architecture.

The town’s quaint streets and alleyways, some dating back to the 13th century, lead to a bustling shopping centre that blends traditional charm with modern convenience. Penrith hosts two popular markets — the traditional Tuesday market in Great Dockray and Cornmarket, and the local farmers’ market held every third Tuesday of the month in Market Square.

Pele Court is ideally positioned on a quiet street close to the town centre. The Clock Tower and Market Place are just 350 metres away, along a pleasant route passing St Andrew’s Church, cafés, and bistros. Everyday essentials are close at hand, with Marks & Spencer Food Hall only 170 metres from the development and Sainsbury’s within 500 metres.

Excellent transport links make getting around easy — Penrith Bus Station is just 300 metres away, the train station is within half a mile’s walk, and there is convenient access to the M6 for those travelling by car.
