Martindale is a small, remote valley and civil parish in Westmorland and Furness, lying within the Lake District National Park to the north‑east of Ullswater. The landscape is classic Lakeland: steep fells, dry‑stone walls and scattered farms connected by narrow lanes, with a handful of hamlets and waterside settlements including Howtown on the lake shore.
Life in Martindale is shaped by upland sheep farming and a steady trickle of walkers and boat visitors who come for the tranquillity and views. The area has a long pastoral history visible in stone farmhouses and old field patterns, and the small, dispersed community is often praised for its sense of place and unspoilt character.
