Add Penrith Town Walking Tour by Cumbria Tourist Guides to your Itinerary

Join a qualified Blue Badge Guide and discover what makes this Eden Valley market town so special. We will start the walk at Penrith Tourist Information Centre and Museum, located in Robinson’s School (1670) and finish at Penrith’s war memorial, the gateway to Castle Park, opposite Penrith railway station. In between we will discover the places where people have lived, worked, played, traded and worshipped in this area since Neolithic times.

We will see how the town’s situation at the meeting point of East/West and North/South trade and travel routes and close to the crossing point of the River Eamont led to the development of Penrith into a thriving trading centre. Penrith was also a strategically important defensive position fought over by England and Scotland for centuries.

Penrith Castle is now a romantic ruin but it was from here in the 15th Century that Richard Duke of Gloucester (later Richard 111) governed as Warden of the West Marches, attempting to bring law and order to the disputed Border region and control the infamous Border Reiver families. The legacy of this violent era can still be seen today in the defensive pele towers which have merged into the architecture of the town and the Penrith Beacon, high on the hill above Penrith where beacons were lit to warn of impending Reiver raids.

We will explore some of Penrith’s yards, built on the burgage plots behind the medieval town houses where large families lived in tiny cottages, and there were workshops, shops and ale houses crammed together. On the way we will hear the stories of the people of Penrith, the notable families of the area and the town’s most famous residents including Trooper William Pearson who survived the Charge of the Light Brigade in the Crimean war in 1854, William Wordsworth, the great C19th romantic poet and William Jameson, landlord of the Griffin Inn and Champion Wrestler of England.

Wests Tigers confirm three-year deal for Penrith flyer Sunia Turuva

wwos logo stacked

UPDATE:  Penrith has added to their list of players departing for another club at the end of the season, with star winger Sunia Turuva officially set to join the Wests Tigers.

Turuva has agreed to a three-year deal worth an estimated $1.3 million — far more than the Panthers were willing to offer - with the Tigers confirming the news on Friday.

The 21-year-old informed his Panthers teammates of his decision this week, which will see him leave the reigning premiers in 2025.

"Sunia is a great signing for us as a club moving forward," Tigers coach Benji Marshall said in a statement.

penrith coach trips

"He is a premiership winner and a genuine footy player who also has great versatility. He is electric and brings great energy to the field every time he plays.

"Most of all he is a great person with great values. We look forward to welcoming Sunia and his family to the club."

Penrith were unable to compete with the offer available for Turuva - who took out the Dally M Rookie of the Year award in 2023 - made by the joint-venture club.

Despite the club's salary cap space set to expand with the departures of James Fisher-Harris and Jarome Luai , the Panthers are unable to increase their tabled offer of $350,000 a year for the Fijian international.

penrith coach trips

The Sydney Morning Herald reports the 21-year-old had been offered a multi-year deal worth $450,000 a season at the Tigers and he will now join Luia at Concord.

Turuva has strong connections with members of the 2025 Tigers side, with former Panther and current Wests Tigers captain Api Koroisau his first cousin.

The Dragons reportedly expressed interest in Turuva, offering a deal worth between $400,000 and $600,000 per season, but were unable to lure him to Wollongong.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds 

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!

  • Every day each car in  Moscow metro passes  more than 600 km, which is the distance from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
  • Moscow subway system is the  5th in the intensity  of use (after the subways of Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul and Shanghai).
  • The interval in the movement of trains in rush hour is  90 seconds .
