*************

Caldbeck is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Allerdale, Cumbria, England. The village had 714 inhabitants according to the census of 2001.^[1] It lies on the northern edge of the Lake District. The nearest town is Wigton, 6 miles north east of the village. In the last few years it has seen a massive house price boom, with many properties more than doubling their value over a couple of years.

The village is popular with tourists from across the globe. Caldbeck's most infamous or famous former resident is the hunter John Peel, whose grave is in the local churchyard. HRH The Prince of Wales has visited the village several times in the last 10 years, overseeing the launch of the Northern Fells Rural Project, and in later years the end of the project, which became the Northern Fells Group. A famous resident is the climber Sir Chris Bonington.

The village has a primary school situated in the area of Upton to the south west of the village proper. The northern part of the village centred around a large green is called Ratten Row.

The parish church is dedicated to Saint Kentigern.

Caldbeck's closest fell is High Pike, which is a popular walk from the village. It is also the starting point for many other fell walking routes.

Within the civil parish of Caldbeck is also the village and former market town of Hesket Newmarket.

Approximately two miles from the village is located the Caldbeck transmitting station, a 337 m high television and radio broadcasting station that covers most of northern Cumbria and south west Scotland.
