Upper Thurnham Lancashire Map

About Upper Thurnham

The quietude of Upper Thurnham unfolds like a hushed secret. It lies 7.5 km south of Lancaster (from Lancaster: bearing 190°T, OS grid SD 461 544), and is situated south-east of Glasson village. Here, the land slopes gently towards the Lune estuary, and on clear days, the distant fells seem to gather the sunlight with a peculiar, almost wistful, glow. The scattered dwellings, often built of sturdy local stone, speak of a long habitation, their roofs a patchwork of weathered slate that catches the changing moods of the Lancashire sky. A sense of enduring peace pervades Upper Thurnham, an atmosphere undisturbed by the clamour of larger settlements, where the very air seems to carry the scent of damp earth and distant salt. The fields surrounding Upper Thurnham, a mosaic of green and gold depending on the season, are tended with a quiet diligence, a timeless rhythm of sowing and reaping.
