Burnbanks is a small hamlet located in Cumbria, North West England, nestled within the eastern fells of the Lake District National Park. It lies a few miles west of Shap and south-east of Penrith, positioned at the western end of Haweswater Reservoir. The hamlet is notable for its origins as a purpose-built settlement, constructed in the early 20th century to house workers involved in the building of the Haweswater Dam. Its uniform housing style reflects this industrial heritage, and today it remains a quiet residential area deeply connected to the reservoir and the surrounding natural landscape.
