Slack Cumbria Map

About Slack

Slack breathes the quiet air of Cumbria, a collection of dwellings that hold their own distinct peace. It lies 8.7 km south-east of Sedbergh (from Sedbergh: bearing 136°T, OS grid SD 717 858), and is situated south-east of Dent village. The land here rolls with a gentle, patient grace, the fields often a patchwork of muted greens and browns, catching the low sun in a way that softens every contour. A small stream, perhaps no more than a murmur for much of the year, winds its way through the hamlet, its banks sometimes overgrown with the wild beauty of native grasses and hedgerows. The houses themselves, built of local stone, seem to emerge from the very earth, their slate roofs blending with the grey skies that so often grace this corner of the country. There is a sense of enduring quietude in Slack, a place where the passing of seasons dictates the rhythm of life rather than the clamour of a busier world.
