Longsowerby Cumbria Map

About Longsowerby

Longsowerby rests on gentle slopes, a quiet echo of the larger city it neighbours. It lies 1.5 km south-west of Carlisle (from Carlisle: bearing 234°T, OS grid NY 390 548). The air here often carries the faint, clean scent of damp earth and distant fields, a subtle perfume that speaks of the fertile Cumbrian land. Fields of green, sometimes dappled with the gold of ripening crops, stretch towards the horizon, their boundaries softened by hedgerows that have stood for generations. The houses of Longsowerby, many of them built from the warm, local stone, seem to absorb the soft, diffused light that characterises this part of England, lending a gentle glow to the afternoon. A quiet road, worn smooth by the passage of countless journeys, winds through the heart of Longsowerby, connecting its scattered homes with a sense of unhurried continuity.
