Broughton Cross
England
Broughton Cross lies on Cumbria's coastal plain between the Lake District fells and the Solway Firth. The A595 provides the main route through the area, linking Workington to the south with Carlisle to the north, whilst the A66 offers east-west connections to Penrith and the M6. Most traffic involves local journeys between nearby villages, though the area sees summer visitors exploring the western Lakes. The settlement's name derives from an ancient wayside cross that marked this spot for travellers crossing the Cumberland plain.
