Scarness holds its quiet place in the Cumbrian landscape. It lies 8.4 km north-west of Keswick (from Keswick: bearing 326°T, OS grid NY 219 305), and is situated south-west of Bassenthwaite village. The hamlet seems to exhale the soft, diffused light of the Lake District, a gentle luminescence that catches the moss on ancient stone walls. A feeling persists here of things having settled, of time having smoothed the edges of the land and the lives lived upon it. The nearby fells, a gentle swell against the sky, hold their secrets close, their slopes a patchwork of heather and bracken. The air itself carries a faint, clean scent of damp earth and distant sheep.
