Discover Cumbria  provides information, contacts & links to all that is great in local, Cumbrian food, arts & crafts.

It has been set up by Distinctly Cumbrian & Leader+ to help visitors explore different aspects of Cumbria and to provide a virtual marketplace for local buyers & suppliers.

Whether you are looking for a new, regional, gourmet food for your restaurant, bespoke furniture or a unique gift as a memento of your holiday in Cumbria, 'Discover Cumbria' can help.

Products which are made in Cumbria are sold in local shops, cafes, markets and special events around the region and now many of our producers sell on-line, providing a crucial ‘showcase’ for their wares.

Buying local products supports local communities and the local economy. It can also help the environment. If the produce doesn’t have to travel miles to its final destination fossil fuel use and carbon dioxide emissions are reduced.
