Brigsteer Cumbria Map

About Brigsteer

Brigsteer, a scattering of stone and slate, breathes the quiet air of Cumbria. It lies 4.8 km south-west of Kendal (from Kendal: bearing 224°T, OS grid SD 481 895), and is situated south-east of Underbarrow village. The sunlight here often has a particular quality, a soft diffusion that catches the grey stone of farmhouses and the emerald sheen of the surrounding fields. Brigsteer finds its place at the foot of a prominent limestone escarpment, a geological feature that commands the horizon and offers views that stretch towards the distant, hazy peaks of the Lake District. A gentle stream, the River Kent, winds its way nearby, its murmur a constant, unobtrusive presence in the landscape. The village itself is a collection of dwellings, their roofs a patchwork against the sky, a testament to generations of life lived in close communion with the land.
