Wigton is right on the edge of the Constituency but it would be a mistake to neglect it! Wigton is out of the way and largely ignored by the traditional tourists who come to Cumbria for Catbells and Wordsworth. It's all the better for it, in my view, and remains one of the most genuine towns in all of Cumbria. The picture shows the Highmoor Tower, which all visitors will notice. Basically, a folly, it was built at the end of the 19th Century. It was once owned by the great uncle of John Studholme, pictured above. John is helping with our campaign and is proving invaluable. The only downside is that he seems to know everyone in Wigton which makes progress a little slow!
