Broughton playground

If you’re local to Cockermouth, you’ve probably already got this one on your radar. Broughton playground is the kind of spot that genuinely works for everyone — the accessibility here is done properly, not as an afterthought. Parking’s easy enough, which makes a difference when you’ve got a buggy or kit to haul. It draws a good mix of ages and feels like a proper community space rather than somewhere people just pass through.
