Howtown Cumbria Map

About Howtown

Howtown lies cradled by the gentle slopes of the Lake District National Park, a place where the light often softens to a watercolour wash across the fells. It lies 12.8 km south-south-west of Penrith (from Penrith: bearing 213°T, OS grid NY 443 197), and is situated south-south-east of Longthwaite village. The hamlet’s stone cottages, weathered by countless Cumbrian seasons, seem to absorb the very essence of the surrounding landscape, their slate roofs glinting like dark water under a passing cloud. Here, the air carries the clean scent of heather and damp earth, a perpetual whisper of the wild fells that rise steeply behind the cluster of dwellings. The proximity to Ullswater, one of England's most celebrated lakes, lends a certain serene grandeur to Howtown, its waters reflecting the ever-changing sky. Life here unfolds at a pace dictated by the seasons and the enduring presence of nature, a quiet dignity that has long characterised this secluded corner of Cumbria.
