Parkgate rests in the quiet embrace of Cumbria, a hamlet where the land exhales a gentle scent of damp earth and distant fields. It lies 4.3 km west-south-west of Wigton (from Wigton: bearing 247°T, OS grid NY 214 467), and is situated south-west of Waverton village. The low, rolling fells that cradle Parkgate seem to hold the sky in their soft curves, and on clear days, the light falls with a particular clarity, illuminating the rich greens of the pastureland and the weathered stone of its few dwellings. The air here carries a stillness, broken only by the calls of birds and the murmur of a nearby stream that threads its way through the landscape like a silver ribbon. It is a place where the pace of life feels attuned to the slow turning of seasons, a quiet corner of North West England that offers a simple, profound beauty.
