It's almost handy, Cockermouth is barely two hours from here in summer, slightly less in winter :)
People forget how big Cumbria is and how bad the roads are ;)
But yes an interesting find. There are actually quite a few Edward 1st silver pennies found, probably paid to local lads called up for service north of the border
Having been to Cockermouth and then driven aroundNd through Cumbria I know what you mean!
