Townhead rests in a landscape where the Cumbrian sky often spills a soft, diffused light. It lies 4.0 km east of Maryport (from Maryport: bearing 98°T, OS grid NY 074 358), and is situated east-south-east of Dearham village. The fields surrounding Townhead, a gentle undulation of green, are frequently brushed by the sea air, carrying the faint tang of brine from the nearby Solway Firth. Ancient hedgerows, thick with hawthorn and bramble, trace the boundaries of these pastures, their gnarled branches a testament to the passage of seasons. The houses of Townhead, often built of local stone, present a solid, unpretentious face to the world, their roofs catching the muted glow of the north-western sun. A quiet sense of continuity pervades the air, a feeling of lives lived and work undertaken with a steady hand.
