Bransty Cumbria Map

About Bransty

Bransty, a Cumberland settlement, breathes the salt-tinged air of the Irish Sea's edge. It lies 0.8 km north-north-east of Whitehaven (from Whitehaven: bearing 16°T, OS grid NX 976 191). The houses here, often of sturdy brick, huddle together as if for warmth against the persistent west winds that sweep in from the coast, their slate roofs catching the pale, diffused light that is a constant companion. A scattering of small shops hints at a quiet commerce, the scent of baking bread sometimes mingling with the faint, metallic tang of the sea. The land rises gently inland, the colour of the fields a muted green, punctuated by the darker shapes of distant fells under a sky that can shift from bruised purple to an almost startling, luminous grey. Children's laughter can sometimes be heard, a bright counterpoint to the steady murmur of the traffic on the main road that bisects Bransty, a reminder of the lives lived within its unassuming bounds.
