This week we were able to attend the “Longtown Social Enterprise” meeting in the Longtown Memorial Hall Community Centre. We had an enthussiastic presentation from Craig about what has been in Marypost. Really inspiring on a grim day. This project could be more than just a fad. It is the chance to improve what is on offer in Longtown for locals and visitors.Together we need to take this opportunity with both hands, and yes put our hands together and makethe place buzz. Longtown is the Gayewayt to the 7 Stanes Cycle trails and soon the British Bordertown for the Tour de France. Let's encourage one another to get moving healthily and safely.
This is what Visit Cumbria writes about Longtown:
“Longtown is situated on the English/Scottish border, three miles from Gretna Green and six from Carlisle. Longtown has a turbulent history that is very interesting when explored. It has a population of about 3000. Unlike many towns, which grew from smaller villages or settlements, Longtown was planned and built in the late 18th century, by the then local landowners, the Grahams of Netherby”.
Together we can add chapters to this piece of history. Bikeseven is up for it.
