Motherby rests in a landscape that breathes with the quietude of ancient hills. It lies 8.8 km west-south-west of Penrith (from Penrith: bearing 256°T, OS grid NY 428 284), and is situated north-north-east of Penruddock village. The very air here seems to carry the scent of damp earth and the distant bleating of sheep, a constant reminder of its pastoral heart. Beneath skies that often shift from pearly grey to a luminous blue, the stone farmsteads and cottages of Motherby present a sturdy, enduring countenance. The gentle slope of the land encourages the eye to wander towards the rolling contours of the Cumbrian countryside, a panorama that has changed little through the centuries. There is a subtle dignity in the way the fields, meticulously divided by dry-stone walls, fall away from the scattered dwellings.
