Info

Visit our Villages There are many villages and hamlets that surround the market town of <strong>Keswick</strong>. They are home to many local residents but you can also find accommodation, cafes, galleries and attractions. They are often the starting point for some wonderful walks, be it along the banks of the river, through a forest or up into the fells. visitkeswick.com/villagesaroundkeswick 01 These small settlements have been in existence for a very long time and often, their name gives a clue about their history. Grange means a farm, usually belonging to a monastery. In this case, the monks of Furness Abbey built a monastic grange here in medieval times. The well-known double-arched bridge was not built until 1675. Grange lies within the Borrowdale Valley, along with Rosthwaite, Stonethwaite, Seatoller and Seathwaite. Borrowdale is taken from the Norse for “valley with a fort”. The Norse arrived in Cumbria around 925 AD. Thwaite is another Norse word meaning clearing and you will see that many of the villages bear that name. Braithwaite means “broad clearing”, the Bassen in Bassenthwaite is likely to be an anglo-french surname or nickname and Seathwaite means “clearing in the sedges (grasses/rushes)”. The village of Threlkeld also takes its name from old Norse, thrall, ‘slave’ and kelda ‘spring’ as does Watendlath - vatn-endi-hlaða or "water-end-barn". However these beautiful villages and hamlets came to be, they are most certainly worth a visit. 08 visitkeswick.com
