Welcome to Croglin Traditional Cache

Croglin is a quiet fellside village with more history than you can see at first sight.

Archaeological finds indicate that humans may have lived here since the bronze age while documentary evidence indicates there was a church here in the 12^th century and the churchyard itself has gravestones dating back to the 13th century.  A few buildings in the village date to 14^th /15^th centuries
 

Between 18^th and early 20^th centuries, Croglin was busy with coal mining and lime burning being carried out in the fells above the village.  The village had two pubs, a butcher’s shop, a smithy, a shoemaker, a grocer’s, and a post office and an excellent school.
