Beckside Books is a long-established 2nd hand and antiquarian bookshop tucked away in a central but quiet part of the historic town of Penrith, N.Cumbria, just 5 minutes drive from the Lake District national park. As well as a very broad range of very reasonably priced books, we also have a large selection of maps and a few postcards and photos. Please use the hand sanitiser, wear a face covering.
