High Hesket, a Cumbrian village, feels the sky's vastness. It lies 13.7 km south-south-east of Carlisle (from Carlisle: bearing 146°T, OS grid NY 476 442), and is situated south-south-east of Low Hesket village. The houses here seem to lean into the gentle slopes, their stone walls absorbing the soft northern light that often washes over the landscape. A sense of quiet continuity pervades High Hesket, as if the very air remembers the passing of seasons and generations. The surrounding fields, a patchwork of green and gold depending on the time of year, stretch towards horizons that promise little but more sky.
