Threlkeld is a small village in Westmorland and Furness, England, on the eastern edge of the northern Lake District. It sits at the foot of Blencathra and close to Keswick, beside the River Glenderamackin, making it a convenient base for walkers and climbers exploring the surrounding fells.
Historically the settlement was shaped by quarrying and mining - the disused Threlkeld Quarry and remnants of a narrow-gauge railway are visible reminders of that industrial past and draw interest from heritage visitors. Today the local economy blends farming with tourism; the village retains traditional stone cottages and a strong community feel while serving as a quieter alternative to busier Lake District hubs.
