Risehow Cumbria Map

About Risehow

The quietude of Risehow often seems to hold the breath of the Cumbrian landscape. It lies 1.8 km south-south-west of Maryport (from Maryport: bearing 207°T, OS grid NY 026 349), and is situated north of Fothergill village. Here, the land slopes gently towards the Irish Sea, and the air carries a faint, briny tang, a perpetual whisper from the nearby coast. The scattered dwellings of Risehow, their stone walls weathered by countless seasons, appear to have grown organically from the soil, their roofs catching the soft, diffused light that is characteristic of this northern latitude. There is a sense of patient endurance about the place, as if it has simply observed the passage of centuries from its unassuming position.
