Powter How, Cumbria Weather
About Powter How, Cumbria
Powter How emerges from the damp, heavy silts of the Cumbrian foothills as a sparse collection of dwellings tethered to the rugged incline of the mountainside. It lies 3.3 miles west-north-west of Keswick (from Keswick: bearing 302°T, OS grid NY 220 263), and is situated north-north-west of Thornthwaite village. Within the expansive silence of the Lake District National Park, Powter How maintains a stoic indifference to the passing of time. The landscape here is dominated by the looming presence of Barf, a mountain that casts long, jagged shadows over the modest roofs below. Just a short distance away, the geological significance of the Barf and Thornthwaite SSSi preserves a rare, ancient ruggedness in the earth itself. The Bishop of Barf, a stark white rock formation, watches over the slopes with a geological grimness that defies human observation. Rainwater often gathers in the hollows here, feeding the quiet, persistent pulse of the nearby landscape. This is a place defined by the weight of stone and the cold, thin light that clarifies every blade of grass in the high pastures.
