Unthank Cumbria Map

About Unthank

Unthank, a quiet collection of dwellings, rests amidst Cumbria's rolling fells. It lies 12.3 km west-south-west of Alston (from Alston: bearing 240°T, OS grid NY 609 404), and is situated north of Gamblesby village. Here, the air often carries the scent of damp earth and distant peat fires, a scent that seems to cling to the grey stone of the farmsteads. The landscape around Unthank is one of broad horizons and skies that can shift from a soft, pearly grey to a brilliant, almost startling blue within moments, a constant reminder of the wilder heart of the North West. Though small, Unthank possesses a certain enduring quality, a quiet resilience borne from generations of living in tune with the seasons and the rugged terrain. One might imagine the murmur of conversations long past drifting on the breeze, the echoes of lives lived simply and with a deep connection to this very soil.
