Bowscar Cumbria Map

About Bowscar

Bowscar, a quiet hamlet, breathes the Cumbrian air. It lies 3.9 km north of Penrith (from Penrith: bearing 356°T, OS grid NY 512 342), and is situated east-north-east of Catterlen village. Fields, brushed with the pale gold of late afternoon sun, stretch towards the distant, purpling fells, a landscape that has long drawn quiet contemplation. The very stones of the scattered cottages seem to hold the memory of generations, their walls a patchwork of weathered grey, softened by the moss that clings like ancient lace. A faint scent of woodsmoke, a gentle whisper from hearths within, often drifts on the breeze, mingling with the damp, earthy perfume of the surrounding farmland. Bowscar, in its unassuming way, offers a glimpse into a corner of England where the sky feels vast and the earth holds its secrets close.
