Cumberland and Westmorland Wrestling is claimed to have its origins in the Viking invasions. True or not the Vikings certainly left their mark in the North West of England with the names given both to the inhabitants, villages and the local terrain. Nowadays, C and W style wrestling is included as one of the several styles of Celtic wrestling practised in England, Scotland, Spain, France, Iceland, Scandinavia amongst others.
