Stair, Cumbria Weather
About Stair, Cumbria
Stair commands a quiet dignity where the rolling fells of the northern Lake District National Park begin to tighten their grip on the landscape. It lies 1.8 miles south-west of Keswick (from Keswick: bearing 231°T, OS grid NY 242 217), and is situated south-south-west of Portinscale village. The light here catches the limestone outcrops with a pale, cold clarity, lending a silvered edge to the rough-hewn stone of the local dwellings. To the north, the slopes of Swinside rise abruptly, acting as a green sentinel that guards the approach to the valley floor. The horizon is further defined by the imposing silhouette of Stub Hill, which looms over the eastern flank of the valley with a brooding, ancient permanence. Water defines the character of the terrain, as the rhythmic pulse of the nearby fells drains toward the lower basins, shaping the verdant pastures that define the immediate geography. Stair maintains a sparse, rugged independence, removed from the clamour of the busier tourist hubs that draw crowds toward the larger lakes. Here, the air holds a sharpness that suggests the persistent, restless industry of the weather, ever-changing and indifferent to the passage of men.
