Scales Cumbria Map

About Scales

Scales, a hamlet in Cumbria, breathes the quietude of the Lake District's western edge. It lies 6.9 km south-east of Cockermouth (from Cockermouth: bearing 138°T, OS grid NY 166 254), and is situated east-south-east of High Lorton village. The land here unfolds with a subtle grace, the fells rising in soft, heather-clad waves that catch the fleeting, pearlescent light of the Cumbrian sky. Streams, like silver threads, weave through the landscape, their murmur a constant, low song against the rustle of wind-blown bracken. The air itself seems to hold a clarity, a crispness that speaks of untamed moors and ancient earth. Here, the very stones of the few scattered dwellings appear to absorb the muted colours of the surrounding hills, grounding the hamlet in a deep, abiding peace.
