Culgaith (meaning corner wood), sits on a hill in Eden valley farmland east of Penrith. Culgaith, a former medieval village, owes its continuing existence to the Settle and Carlisle railway that came here in the 1870s. The rail line tunnels through the hill. The railway station closed and is now a private home but the near by station at Langwathby allows travel between Carlisle and Leeds on the famous Carlisle- Settle Railway. The river Eden lies ¼ mile from the village, and Cross fell is to the east.
