Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling, commonly known as Cumberland wrestling or Cumbrian wrestling, is an ancient and well-practised tradition in the traditional English counties of Cumberland and Westmorland. It bears enough of a resemblance to Scottish Backhold, which is practised just north of the border, for them to be classed under the joint heading North Country style.
