Smithfield Cumbria Map

About Smithfield

Smithfield, a quiet Cumbrian settlement, breathes the cool air of the North West. It lies 7.0 km east-south-east of Longtown (from Longtown: bearing 116°T, OS grid NY 441 655), and is situated north-north-west of Scaleby village. The surrounding fields, often a patchwork of gold and green under the vast Cumbrian sky, speak of generations of husbandry, the soil yielding its bounty with a patient generosity. A sense of enduring stillness pervades Smithfield, a quietude broken only by the lowing of cattle or the distant bleating of sheep, sounds that echo the timeless pastoral character of the landscape. The very stones of the older cottages seem to absorb the muted sunlight, giving them a gentle warmth even on a blustery day.
