Wheyrigg

united kingdom

Wheyrigg lies in Cumbria's Solway Plain, reached via the B5307 from the A596 near Wigton or through Abbey Town from the coastal A595. Most traffic consists of local movements between farming villages, though the area serves as a quiet route between Carlisle and the west coast. The 12th-century parish church houses remarkable medieval wall paintings uncovered in the 1960s.
