About

Thornhill is a small village set within the agricultural landscape of the West Cumbrian plain. Its character is defined by its position near the River Calder and the nearby Sellafield complex, which provides significant local employment. The area is dominated by flat, open fields and the presence of major transport routes like the A595.

Gosforth is a larger village known for its ancient Gosforth Cross, a 10th-century monument standing in the churchyard. The village serves as a local centre for surrounding rural communities. Further west, Seascale sits directly on the Irish Sea coast, its long, exposed beach backed by sand dunes. The village developed in the Victorian era as a coastal resort and retains a linear, planned layout along the shoreline.
