The wide Main Street of Egremont, watched over by the clock tower of the Victorian Town Hall, is typical of many Cumbrian towns. Egremont was granted a market charter as early as 1267, and is famous for its Crab Apple Fair held every September, which includes the World Gurning (face-pulling) Championships.
