Morton rests on the cusp of Cumbria, a quiet presence against the sweep of the land. It lies 10.6 km north-west of Penrith (from Penrith: bearing 326°T, OS grid NY 456 392), and is situated south-west of Calthwaite village. The fields surrounding Morton often hold a deep, resonant green, absorbing the soft, diffused light that characterises this corner of the North West. The air here carries the faint scent of damp earth and, on occasion, the distant bleating of sheep, a constant reminder of the pastoral heart of the landscape. Morton itself is a collection of dwellings, each seemingly content in its own space, contributing to a collective atmosphere of understated calm.
