Lawkland reveals itself as a quiet collection of dwellings defined by the austere, limestone-streaked horizons of the Yorkshire Dales. It lies 3.4 miles west-north-west of Settle (from Settle: bearing 304°T, OS grid SD 774 665), and is situated south-south-east of Austwick village. The landscape here is defined by a rigorous, pale geology that seems to absorb the heavy, grey light of the northern sky. To the west, the expansive Austwick and Lawkland Mosses SSSI provide a damp, peat-rich contrast to the drier pastures that surround the hearths of Lawkland. Fen Beck winds through the adjacent lowlands, its water often appearing as dark, polished glass against the encroaching rushes. The local architecture possesses a sturdy, unadorned honesty, built from the very stone that breaks through the thin turf of the nearby hills. Further north, the dense canopy of Oxenber and Wharfe Woods SSSI offers a sheltered sanctuary where the silence is broken only by the sharp, sudden call of a bird. These surroundings maintain a persistent, stoic character, indifferent to the shifting fashions of the world beyond the ridge.
