Cocklakes Cumbria Map

About Cocklakes

Cocklakes rests in a landscape that, even in the soft Cumbrian light, holds a certain quiet resilience. It lies 7.2 km south-east of Carlisle (from Carlisle: bearing 130°T, OS grid NY 457 510), and is situated west-north-west of Cotehill village. The fields surrounding Cocklakes often exhibit a rich, earthy red, a testament to the particular soil that nourishes them, and the air here can carry the faint, sweet scent of damp soil after a spring shower. This is a place where the agricultural pulse is still felt, where the land dictates much of the day's turning. A scattering of sturdy stone farmhouses, their roofs often darkened by the passage of years, punctuate the gentle rise and fall of the terrain. The sky above Cocklakes, vast and often shifting in its moods, frequently offers dramatic displays of cloud, hinting at the wilder fells that lie further afield.
