It is situated to the west of Blyth and just east of the A19 Road. It is believed that the name comes from the Dutch meaning to cut "couperen" which may refer to the fact it was a barter town, and not a pen for cows.
The quaint English town has recently lost one of it's most loved members of the society; Kelly. She has left Cowpen for sunny Liverpool and has been well missed by all of her friends and family. Its premiere estate is Leeches, which is home to a newsagent, tanning solarium, hairdresser, Chinese takeaway and Bobby's chippy. Further along the road there is a KFC Restaurant, McDonalds, And an ASDA well known for its sales of 'Rockstar Tropical Guava.'
Though with such a high business attracted to the area the main point of interest is the road leading out Cowpen.
It's widely considered a town to avoid with the such "characters" as mental mickey and disco tony, Along with a group of people who go by the name of 'The Cowpen Krazy Kats.'
