Swarthmoor Cumbria Map

About Swarthmoor

Swarthmoor rests in a quiet corner of Cumbria, its name a soft echo of the land. It lies 1.7 km south-west of Ulverston (from Ulverston: bearing 231°T, OS grid SD 274 772), and is situated east of Pennington village. The air here often carries a damp, earthy scent, a testament to the gentle rise of the land towards the Furness Peninsula, and the sunlight, when it breaks through the often-grey skies, possesses a diffused, pearlescent quality that softens the edges of the stone cottages and the ancient trees. Though not a place of grand pronouncements, Swarthmoor’s history whispers through the weathered stones of its Quaker meeting house, a quiet monument to a tradition of contemplation and community that has long shaped the spirit of this place. The fields surrounding Swarthmoor, a patchwork of muted greens and browns, seem to hold the stillness of generations, their boundaries defined by hedgerows that have stood watch for centuries.
