Botcherby

Botcherby A Garden Village is the story of what was a small village near Carlisle that has grown and transformed over the years into a vibrant community several times bigger.

“Everybody is working towards a better Botcherby…We need to keep giving our children the opportunity to shine. It’s not always about success – it’s about trying to make it as good as it can be.” – Elsie Baty.

It was like living in the country then, being surrounded by green fields. It was a natural adventure playground for people growing up here. Not so many people had televisions so we had to make our own enjoyment, but there were so many things to do we were never bored.” – Jack Stubbs
