About Great Strickland

Great Strickland rests within the rolling landscape of Cumbria, a place where the land seems to hold its breath under wide skies. It lies 8.7 km south-south-east of Penrith (from Penrith: bearing 150°T, OS grid NY 556 227), and is situated east-south-east of Hackthorpe village. The village's stone houses, their roofs often a rich, mossy grey, seem to have grown organically from the earth, their chimneys exhaling slow plumes of smoke that catch the afternoon sun. The fields surrounding Great Strickland, a patchwork of greens and golds depending on the season, are worked with a quiet diligence, their hedgerows offering a haven for the unseen lives of birds and small creatures. A sense of enduring peace pervades the air, a feeling amplified by the gentle curve of the land and the distant murmur of water, suggesting ancient pathways trod by generations past. Even in its stillness, Great Strickland possesses a subtle vitality, a testament to its continued life within the embrace of the Cumbrian countryside.
