High Water Head Cumbria Map

About High Water Head

High Water Head, a quiet hamlet, breathes the cool, damp air of Cumbria’s fells. It lies 8.6 km south-west of Ambleside (from Ambleside: bearing 223°T, OS grid SD 316 982), and is situated east-north-east of Coniston village. Here, the land rises and falls with a patient, ancient rhythm, the stone walls that delineate fields and gardens seeming as much a part of the landscape as the moss-covered boulders. The light, when it breaks through the frequent cloud cover, possesses a luminous quality, bleaching the slate roofs to a pale silver and casting long, soft shadows across the undulating terrain. High Water Head retains a simple, unassuming character, a place where the echoes of past lives are whispered on the wind that sweeps down from the higher reaches of the Lake District National Park.
