Waverton is a linear village and civil parish in Cumbria, northwest England. Waverton lies on the main A596 road east of a bridge over the River Waver, 2.2 miles south west from Wigton and 14.2 miles from the nearest city, Carlisle. The River is the reason for Wavertons name as well as it coming from the old English word tuǹ, this meaning “An enclosure; a farmstead; a village; an estate”[1].
