The Lake District Directory Hesket Newmarket
The small village of Hesket Newmarket is situated just inside the northern edge of the Lake District National Park. Hesket Newmarket is situates in the Caldbeck fells. The village is a collection of mainly 18th century cottages that are gathered around a village green and a market cross. Hesket Newmarket was little more than a hamlet until the 18th century, when the market charter was granted, but it never really caught on as a market town, and the market had closed by the end of the 19th century.
