North Stainmore Cumbria Map

About North Stainmore

North Stainmore clings to the high fells, a scatter of stone against the vast Cumbrian sky. It lies 8.3 km north-east of Kirkby Stephen (from Kirkby Stephen: bearing 41°T, OS grid NY 830 150), and is situated east of Brough village. The air here carries the clean, wild scent of heather and peat, a constant reminder of the exposed moorland that embraces this hamlet. Sheep graze on ancient pastures, their woolly forms like scattered clouds against the green, their bleating a thin thread in the immense quiet. Evidence of Roman roads, like faint scars on the land, hints at the enduring presence of human passage across this formidable terrain. The old packhorse routes, once trodden by merchants and travellers, still whisper of journeys through the stark beauty of the Pennines.
