Ormathwaite Cumbria Map

About Ormathwaite

Ormathwaite, a quiet collection of dwellings, offers a tranquil corner of Cumbria. It lies 1.8 km north of Keswick (from Keswick: bearing 11°T, OS grid NY 269 252), and is situated south-east of Applethwaite village. The scattered houses of Ormathwaite seem to gather themselves against the shoulders of the fells, their stone walls absorbing the soft Cumbrian light that often filters through a sky of shifting greys. A small, unnamed beck, more a murmur than a rush, winds its way through the hamlet, its presence felt more than heard, a quiet counterpoint to the distant bleating of sheep. The air here carries the clean scent of damp earth and the faintest hint of woodsmoke, a subtle perfume that speaks of lives lived in measure with the seasons. Ormathwaite does not shout its presence; it simply endures, a steadfast collection of buildings against the grander theatre of the Lake District's mountains.
