Selside, Cumbria Weather
About Selside, Cumbria
Selside commands a quiet authority over the rising limestone shoulders of the Cumbrian fells. It lies 4.1 miles north-north-east of Kendal (from Kendal: bearing 17°T, OS grid SD 535 992), and is situated north of Meal Bank village. The earth here holds the deep, ancient cold of the high country, where the wind scours the stone walls and carries the sharp scent of damp bracken. Selside sits firmly within the Lake District National Park, sharing the expansive, light-washed silence of the surrounding peaks. To the north-west, the dark, brooding mass of Murthwaite Knott looms over the drainage basins, its slopes catching the fleeting, bruised purples of a shifting sky. Further afield, the hidden, moss-crusted stones of the medieval moated site near Bannisdale Low Bridge hint at a time when these lonely tracks were the primary arteries of the north. The landscape remains defined by this rugged, elemental architecture, where the grey rock breaks through the thin turf like the bleached bones of the earth. Selside endures as a place of sparse, hard-won beauty, indifferent to the hurried pace of the lowlands below.
