Townhead Cumbria Map

About Townhead

Townhead breathes the quiet air of Cumbria, a place where the ancient Pennine landscape presses close. It lies 0.5 km north-west of Penrith (from Penrith: bearing 323°T, OS grid NY 511 307). The light here, particularly in the late afternoon, can catch the rough stone of farmsteads and cottages, lending them a brief, unexpected warmth against the often-brooding sky. Though small, Townhead’s proximity to the bustling market town of Penrith means its residents enjoy both the tranquillity of the countryside and the amenities of a larger centre. A sense of quiet industry, born from the surrounding agricultural lands, seems to permeate the very lanes, a subtle hum beneath the calls of curlews. The gentle rise of the land towards the north-west offers glimpses of the broader Eden Valley, a vista that has changed little through the centuries.
