Penrith is a town just to the east of the Lake District National Park. Historically it is where traffic from London via Scotch Corner rejoined the A6 route from Shap to continue north towards Scotland. Today it is home to a major intersection between the A66 and M6, and with its close proximity to Ullswater is one of the Gateways to the Lakes.
