Warcop


Warcop is a pretty village and civil parish in the Eden district of Cumbria, England. It is near the A66 road and is 5 miles (8.0 km) north of Kirkby Stephen and about 5 miles south of Appleby in Westmorland. The local Church of England parish is St Columba's Church, Warcop, which is a Norman church and is built on the site of a roman marching camp. It holds an annual "Rushbearing Festival" each year in late June. Warcop can boast the oldest usable bridge over the river Eden, which dates from the 14th century or earlier.
