Colthouse breathes a quiet dignity, a hamlet where the fells begin to assert their gentle, rolling dominance. It lies 4.7 km west-north-west of Bowness-on-Windermere (from Bowness-on-Windermere: bearing 286°T, OS grid SD 358 983), and is situated north-east of Hawkshead village. The stone cottages of Colthouse, many weathered to a pleasing grey, seem to hunker down against the Cumbrian sky, their slate roofs catching the diffused light that often softens the surrounding landscape. A sense of quiet contemplation pervades the air, a feeling that here, time moves with the deliberate pace of the changing seasons, rather than the hurried pulse of the wider world. The very ground underfoot, a mix of sturdy turf and ancient flagstones, speaks of generations who have walked these paths, their lives intertwined with the enduring beauty of the Lake District.
