THRELKELD

'Threlkeld' is a village in the north of the Lake District, to the
east of Keswick, situated at grid reference .
It lies at the southern foot of Blencathra, one of the more prominent fells in the northern Lake District, and to the north of the River Glenderamackin.
Threlkeld formerly had its own station on the Cockermouth, Keswick and Penrith Railway, on the opposite side of the valley, next to the (closed) Threlkeld Quarry, at the foot of Clough Head. Today the railway line is a footpath and cycle track. Three rows of terraced houses, which used to accommodate the quarry workers, stand near the station. The Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum, and a small centre for light business has opened nearby.
