Salkeld Dykes, a quiet Cumbrian hamlet, breathes the diffused light of the North West. It lies 6.3 km north-north-east of Penrith (from Penrith: bearing 30°T, OS grid NY 546 358), and is situated south-south-west of Great Salkeld village. The land here, a gentle swell of green, often holds a certain stillness, as if the very air remembers ancient footsteps. A scatter of stone cottages, their roofs softened by moss and the passage of countless seasons, huddle together as if for warmth against the wide, often windswept skies. The nearby River Petteril, a silver thread in the landscape, murmurs secrets of the fields and fells it has nourished for centuries. Salkeld Dykes offers a profound sense of peace, a place where the hurried world feels a distant rumour.
