Ghyll Head Cumbria Map

About Ghyll Head

Ghyll Head rests in the quiet embrace of Cumbria's rolling fells. It lies 4.3 km south-south-west of Bowness-on-Windermere (from Bowness-on-Windermere: bearing 193°T, OS grid SD 392 927), and is situated south of Storrs village. The air here, often carrying the damp scent of approaching rain, seems to hold a deeper stillness, a quiet knowing that has settled over the land. Fields, divided by ancient drystone walls, fall away towards the shimmering expanse of Windermere, a sight that can still stir the heart with its vastness. Ghyll Head’s modest collection of houses, some with slate roofs that gleam dully in the diffused light, speaks of a life lived in close communion with the seasons. The occasional bleating of sheep from the surrounding pastures provides a soft counterpoint to the wind’s low murmur.
