Tower Wood rests in Cumbria's embrace, a quiet collection of dwellings where the land itself seems to hold its breath. It lies 6.2 km south-south-west of Bowness-on-Windermere (from Bowness-on-Windermere: bearing 192°T, OS grid SD 389 909), and is situated south of Ghyll Head village. The air here, especially in the soft light of late afternoon, carries a certain stillness, a reflection of the surrounding fells that rise with a hushed authority. A subtle scent of damp earth and pine needles often drifts through the lanes, a constant reminder of the ancient woodlands that give Tower Wood its name. Though not a place of grand pronouncements, the very stones of its older cottages seem to murmur stories of generations who have known this particular corner of the Lake District National Park.
