St Cuthbert’s Garden Village, Carlisle is an ambitious proposal that could include the development of around 10,000 new quality homes, new employment opportunities, community facilities and a new Southern Link Road.

Of all the sites included in the Government’s Garden Village programme, St Cuthbert’s is by far the largest in terms of its potential capacity. It is amongst the most ambitious development projects being actively progressed within the north of England, and is one of the leading projects for meeting the growth ambitions of the Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership and the wider Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal. 

Carlisle is the City of the Lakes. 

It is located just south of the Scottish border and is within easy reach of two internationally renowned World Heritage Sites - the Lake District and Hadrian's Wall. It is an important station on the West Coast Mainline with regular train journeys departing for London taking just over three hours. The city enjoys excellent road and rail connections to a number of major cities including Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Manchester. 

St Cuthbert's Garden Village is located just south of the City of Carlisle, enjoying commanding views of the North Pennines and Lake District Fells and easy access to Carlisle's regional connections.
