About Broughton Cross

Broughton Cross, a quiet Cumbrian hamlet, often catches the fleeting light of the late afternoon sun. It lies 4.5 km west of Cockermouth (from Cockermouth: bearing 264°T, OS grid NY 076 302), and is situated west of Brigham village. The surrounding landscape, a gentle expanse of fields and hedgerows, offers a tranquil vista, where the wind whispers through the tall grasses. A scattering of stone-built cottages, their roofs weathered by countless seasons, form the heart of Broughton Cross. The air here carries a subtle scent of damp earth and the distant, clean tang of the Irish Sea, a reminder of its proximity to the coast. Though small, Broughton Cross possesses a quiet dignity, a place where the passage of time feels measured by the slow turning of the seasons rather than the hurried ticking of a clock.
