Gosforth, a village in Cumbria, breathes the crisp air of England's North West. It lies 9.1 km south-east of Egremont (from Egremont: bearing 140°T, OS grid NY 067 035), and is situated west-south-west of Wellington village. The land around Gosforth rolls with a gentle, green persistence, hinting at the ancient pastoral life that has shaped it. Its parish church, St. Mary and St. Michael, stands as a noble sentinel, its stones bearing the quiet dignity of centuries, and within its grounds, the famous Gosforth Cross, a magnificent Anglo-Saxon monument, speaks of a rich and vibrant early Christian heritage. The River Irt meanders nearby, its waters reflecting the ever-changing moods of the Cumbrian sky, and the proximity of the Lake District National Park imbues Gosforth with a sense of unspoiled natural beauty.
