Strands Cumbria Map

About Strands

Strands rests in a landscape where the sky often seems to stretch to infinity. It lies 4.2 km north-north-east of Millom (from Millom: bearing 21°T, OS grid SD 187 840), and is situated east-south-east of The Green village. The hamlet, though small, holds a quiet dignity, its scattered dwellings breathing the clean air that sweeps in from the west. Here, the land slopes gently towards the coast, a soft green canvas brushed with the muted tones of Cumbrian stone and heather. Even on a grey day, a certain clarity pervades, as if the very atmosphere has been scoured by the sea winds. The quietude of Strands is broken only by the bleating of sheep or the distant cry of a curlew, sounds that seem to echo the timeless nature of this place.
