Cumrew is a small village and civil parish in the Cumberland district of Cumbria, England. It lies about south of Brampton and east of Carlisle. The population of the parish at the 2021 census was 102. Cumrew shares a parish council with the neighbouring parish of Carlatton.
==History== In the 1770s, William Hutchinson noted the outline of an extensive quadrangle in a field near the church, and speculated that it may indicate the site of Dunwalloght Castle, a fortified house in the area referenced in some documents from the late 13th century. There is not much supporting evidence for this claim or assumption, as when two small mounds were removed in 1832 there was no trace of a foundation. The Dacre family formerly owned two small estates in the area, which they sold to Sir Christopher Musgrave. William Dugdale, in his Baronage of England (1676) suggested that the Dacres had a castle at Cumrew. Beyond this allusion, nothing is known of Dunwalloght's history or its site.
