About Far Sawrey

Far Sawrey rests in the embrace of the Lake District's western fells. It lies 2.9 km west-south-west of Bowness-on-Windermere (from Bowness-on-Windermere: bearing 237°T, OS grid SD 379 954), and is situated east-south-east of Near Sawrey village. The air here, often carrying the damp, earthy scent of the surrounding woodlands and the distant, unseen waters of Windermere, seems to hold the quiet hum of ancient stone. A modest cluster of dwellings, Far Sawrey possesses a timeless quality, its slate roofs catching the diffuse light that filters through the ancient oaks and beeches. The landscape around Far Sawrey unfolds with a gentle, yet profound, ruggedness, where sheep graze on slopes that fall away towards the lake, their bleating a faint counterpoint to the rustle of leaves. The very stones of the old cottages, worn smooth by countless seasons, seem to whisper tales of generations who have called this place home, their lives interwoven with the rhythms of the land.
