Mockerkin

Mockerkin is a settlement in the English county of Cumbria. Historically part of Cumberland, it is situated just outside the Lake District National Park.

It lies by road 6 miles (9.7 km) south of Cockermouth., 11.1 miles (18 km) east of Whitehaven, 32.6 miles (52 km) south-west of Carlisle and 48.2 miles (78 km) to the north of Barrow-in-Furness.

The name probably derives from the hill-top of a man called Corcán.

Mockerkin is within the Penrith and Solway UK parliamentary constituency.

For Local Government purposes it is in the Cumberland unitary authority area.

The village also has its own Parish Council; Loweswater Parish Council, which is part of The Melbreak Communities (comprising the four parishes of Blindbothel, Buttermere, Lorton and Loweswater).
