Threlkeld
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Threlkeld is a village in the north of the Lake District, to the east of Keswick, situated at grid reference NY322254.
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. Today the railway line is a footpath and cycle track.
The Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum is located nearby on the opposite side of the valley, at the foot of Clough Head.
