Eden is a district in the county of Cumbria in England, named after the River Eden. The administrative centre is the town of Penrith; another significant town is Appleby-in-Westmorland. Eden is the fourth largest district in England, with an area of 2156 km², and the most sparsely populated, with 24 inhabitants per km². A large part of the district is part of the Lake District National Park.
When the new county of Cumbria was created on 1 April 1974, the district was made up of areas from two different counties. From Cumberland these were the Urban District of Penrith and the Rural Districts of Alston with Garrigill and Penrith. From Westmorland came the Borough of Appleby, part of the Lakes Urban District and the Rural District of North Westmorland.
