Little Strickland reveals itself as a quiet gathering of sandstone and slate, where the persistent Cumbrian light softens the sharp edges of the dry-stone walls. It lies 7.3 miles south-south-east of Penrith (from Penrith: bearing 155°T, OS grid NY 562 196), and is situated south-south-east of Great Strickland village. The landscape here breathes with the ancient composure of the Lake District National Park, extending its boundaries to embrace the low, rolling pastures that surround the homes. To the south-south-west, the modest rise of Harrowstead Hill marks the horizon, acting as a silent sentinel over the fields. The Green acts as the central heart of Little Strickland, a grassy expanse where the passage of the seasons is measured by the changing hue of the wild grasses. Nearby, the Gunnerkeld Concentric Stone Circle anchors the earth, a prehistoric relic that reminds the observer of the enduring human presence in this corner of the North West. As the sun dips low, the shadows stretch across the meadows, lending a fleeting, amber gravity to the stones that have witnessed centuries of agricultural toil.
