Neighbouring villages are Camerton to the west, Broughton Moor to the north and Papcastle to the east. AmenitiesThe village has a post office and general store, a primary school, three pubs and a Royal British Legion branch. There is a 15-room hotel named the Broughton Craggs Hotel situated at the bottom of the village on the road heading to Cockermouth. Several houses offer bed and breakfast. Great Broughton also borders the village of Little Broughton, which is made up of new housing estates and older houses. Little Broughton also has a pub, named the Sundial.[4] The churchyard of the Anglican Christ Church contains a Grade II listed war memorial erected in 1921, bearing the names of 22 servicemen killed in the First World War, and five servicemen and one female civilian killed in the Second World War.[5] There is also a Methodist church in the village, but a planning application was approved in 2005 to turn it into a dwelling.[6] Broughton Carnival takes place every July. Up to it being decommissioned in 1992, the RNAD Depot Broughton Moor bordered the top end of the village and the Ministry of Defence police houses remain as South Terrace. The rest of the former RNAD site is currently up for tender from its current owners, Cumbria County Council, which purchased it from the Ministry of Defence for a nominal sum in 2007. AccessThe village is on a bus route to Cockermouth. It once had a station on the Cleator and Workington Junction Railway, but it closed to passengers in 1908 and completely in 1921.[7] The nearest station today is at Workington, 7 miles (11 km) away, which has services to Barrow, Whitehaven and Carlisle. During the floods of November 2009, the main bridge over the River Derwent, giving access to the village from the A66, sustained structural damage and was closed pending a structural report from engineers. The bridge was built in 1832. It re-opened after structural work in early 2010.[8] Notable residents
